One of the few venues in Sydney that continued to support musicians during COVID-19 St James' lunchtime concerts are 30 minutes in length, commencing at 1:15pm, and are livestreamed, so 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.
