Choir & Music
Choral music has always been a strong feature of St James' Church.
The church has a traditional, robed Anglican choir made up of boys and adults.
The choir provides music for two sung services each week (with the exception of
Sunday mornings when there is a Parade Service). This includes sung Mass on the
1 st , 3 rd and 4 th Sunday each month and a traditional, sung Evensong at 6.15
pm every Sunday evening. A motet or anthem, drawn from the choir's extensive repertoire,
is normally performed at every service. From time to time, the choir sings a full
Choral Evensong to special settings of the Canticles and Responses.
Our accomplished Organist and Choir Master, Peter Hackett, also performs an organ
voluntary at each service.
If you enjoy choral music and a traditional sung evensong, which relatively few
churches now routinely offer, why not join us on a Sunday evening at 6.15pm?
