St James Piccadilly Music Scholars programme awards scholarships to support young musicians. It is an initiative cementing a commitment to excellence and inclusive music making, launched in 2021. The programme supports emerging talent, both singers and instrumentalists, in keeping with St James’s long music tradition, but reflects music culture in today’s church. Rooted in the choral tradition, we also embrace world music and jazz in our regular and special services and events.The programme is inclusive, supporting musical talent beyond the parameters of traditional music. Yet, in keeping with our musical heritage, Scholars commit to enriching St James’s liturgical year and at all the major festivals, alongside the weekly commitment. An annual tour has become a tradition, with alumni from previous years joining current scholars.
