BiographyJulian Harris formed the St James's Singers in 1985 when he was organist and choirmaster at St James's Church, Alveston in Warwickshire.

Over the last quarter of a century they have passed every major choral milestone from Bach's St John Passion to Beethoven's Choral Symphony. They have worked with many leading internationally established stars including Catherine Bott and Ian Partridge, and have worked with young soloists who have gone on to achieve worldwide recognition such as soprano, Carolyn Sampson, and tenor, Andrew Kennedy.

The choir has members of all ages, and subscriptions are waived for those who are students or in full time education. Although the choir is based in Warwickshire, choir membership is drawn from London, Bristol, and from the South Coast to Birmingham and Coventry.
