Join us for Music at St. James!

ORGAN RECITAL SCHEDULE – TUESDAYS AT 1:00pm 

Our Organ Recitals series on Tuesdays features some of the region’s finest organists and the powerful sounds of St. James Cathedral’s 5,000 organ pipes.

Early Music at St. James: It is a new concert series initiative to present performances on historical instruments in the intimate and superb acoustics of St. James’ St. George Chapel. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear soloists and small ensembles perform historical repertoire right in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Concerts begin at 1:00 pm and last about 40 minutes. Admission is free and donations are encouraged. All are welcome!
