GOOD TO KNOW The Choir of Saint James sings Solemn Eucharist every Sunday at 10:30 AM, but Great Music at St. James itself runs on the second Sunday of the month: Evensong at 4:15 PM followed by an organ recital at 6:00 PM. Verified upcoming: Maurice Clerc on October 11, Johann Vexo on November 8, and an Advent Lessons & Carols service on December 13 (4:15 PM only, no recital). No ticket or RSVP is required.

Why it's worth your time

This is a genuinely free, indoor, year-round classical series at a time of year when the site's free outdoor summer programming has already ended — a real alternative to paying for a concert hall seat, with a different visiting artist organist each month.
