The Elstree Mozart Players was founded in 2018 by Derek Holland, in partnership with Pat Strack and Andrew Grady.

The third concert of the 2022 season was held on Saturday 8th October 2022 at Allum Hall & Manor.

The proceeds from the concert are to go to the Rotary Club of the Studios of Elstree and Borehamwood which raised around £200.00 for work the club does supporting several community-based projects.

The concert featured works by Offenbach, Walton, Smetana, Coates and White.
