Lawrence Wallington (1957-2026)

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of longstanding RSM Member and Governor Lawrence Wallington, who has passed away aged 68.

Serving for four decades as a bass in the Westminster Abbey Choir, he mixed these duties with a busy freelance career in oratorio and opera, as well as membership of many chamber ensembles, notably The Monteverdi Choir. Joining RSM in 1984, Lawrence was a highly committed and hugely respected Member serving on the Court of Assistants from 2003, as a Governor since 2020 and as Chair of the Fine Instrument Scheme sub-committee since 2022. He will be greatly missed by his fellow Governors and staff, whom he worked so closely alongside, as well as the many Members who saw him regularly at RSM events. Our condolences go out to his wife and family at this difficult time.
