A Celebratory Evensong for Warren Trevelyan-Jones.

Two weeks ago we were privileged to celebrate the incredible achievements of Warren over his almost 17 years as a Head of Music at St James'. This service was filled with joyous music, and here are some snippets from the anthem "Hear my words, ye people" by CHH Parry.

During the service, Warren was presented with a small gift from the Friends of Music, and he gave a heartfelt word of thanks for everything he was able to achieve at St James'.

Thanks to Philip Jones for the photos and videos.
Wonderful sounds of the Bicentennial Organ, built by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders, played by Thomas Wilson.

We were thrilled to have Sarah Kim back at St James', giving a recital on the new Bicentennial Organ, built by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders.

She gave a thrilling recital, showcasing the vast sounds of this instrument, and her astounding technical abilities. We love spending time with you Sarah, and have a safe flight back to Paris.
