22.01.2022 Today we wish Johann Sebastian Bach a very happy birthday! Superlatives can not describe his musical genius and impact on our lives to the present day. With such difficulty in choosing a single piece of Bach's music to share, we decided to on this recording of the Magnificat in Re major, BWV 243, performed by Collegium Vocale Gent conducted by Philippe Herreweghe featuring our Head of Music, Warren Trevelyan-Jones performing. Look out for him in the video! What are your favourite Bach pieces?

10.01.2022 Today we mourn the passing of Taryn Fiebig. Wonderfully astonishing and versatile soprano, beloved by all. We will greatly miss her. We share a video of Taryn, Anna Dowsley and The Choir of St James' Chloe Lankshear singing a heartful rendition of Seconda Prattica: Rossi's Dormite, begl’occhi. Requiescat in pace

07.01.2022 You simply can’t miss this! Join Fine Music Sydney presenter and The Choir of St James' Choir Alto, Alex Siegers Music this Sunday from 2.30pm in the Fine Music Centre, St Leonards or online (on Zoom) for her upcoming talk The Magic of Choral Music. "Choral singing is an integral part of our modernday concert life. Every year Handel’s Messiah is performed countless times around the globe, and audiences continue to fill concert halls for performances of Carl Orff’s Carmina B...urana. The physical and emotional benefits of choral singing have been widely documented in recent decades: from lowering stress levels to strengthening your immune system. Discover what it is about choral singing that makes it so magical!" Tickets from $10 (zoom presentation) or $20 in-person ($15 for volunteers and subscribers), which includes light refreshments.

07.01.2022 Today we celebrate the birthday of Thomas Arne. His melodic and elegant style added substantially to the English heritage of song. One of the most important English composers of the 18th century, he's flown slightly under the radar, despite having 1 or 2 of the most recognisable tunesin existence. Can you name a couple?
