A deeply passionate and imaginative performer, Rosie Gallagher enjoys a varied life as a musician around the world. Born in Sydney Australia, she received a BM from The Juilliard School and a MM from the Royal Academy of Music. She has performed with groups that include the 21c Festival of Contemporary Music, Yellowbarn Music Festival, Heartbeat Opera, Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra and Ensemble Connect which is a two year fellowship program of Carnegie Hall and the Weill Music Institute that combines artistic excellence with social engagement training.

One of the few venues in Sydney supporting our musicians during COVID-19 St James' has resumed its Wednesday Lunchtime Concert Series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, St James' has had to rethink how it brings this popular weekly series back to the people of Sydney. The concerts are 30 minutes in length, commencing at 1:15pm, but are now livestreamed and patrons have the choice of attending in person or watching online. A unique bonus is that online ticketholders can watch a recording of the concert as many times as they wish until the Tuesday following the concert. Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to the musicians and the cost of livestreaming. 

Our musicians have been hit hard by pandemic, and St James' is thrilled to have the opportunity to support the professionals who give us such enjoyment and solace through their craft.
