Free Choral Education
Is your child musical? St James Church offers excellent free training and education in choral music within the Voice for Life framework provided by the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM).
Music features strongly in the life of St James focused around the excellent Choir and organ which richly enhance our worship in Church.
The Choir is open to all with practises on Friday evenings. Each week, the Choir sings at both Sunday Eucharist (9:45am) and Choral Evensong (6:30pm).
As well as leading congregational singing, the Choir performs a Motet (or similar) during Eucharist.
Additional music is performed at special services, e.g., at Advent, Christmas and Easter.
Concerts
St James is an ideal concert venue and the Church has been proud to host performances by the likes of the excellent Friary Brass Band and London Korean Choral Society.
