Concert: Jam @25

On Wednesday 26th March JAM returns to St Bride’s Church to open its 2025 season and celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Music of Our Time is a celebration of new music including works for choir, brass quintet and organ. This vibrant concert will be a celebration of JAM’s 25 years showcasing from JAM’s first to most recent commission, by composers Timothy Jackson and Joseph Phibbs. Also to be included is Paul Mealor’s Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal, as we celebrate Paul’s 50th birthday this year. There will also be pieces included from JAM’s Call for Music.

JAM is internationally recognised as a creative, dynamic, forward-thinking arts organisation, with new music at its core.

It embraces artistic risk-taking through contemporary innovation, exploration, collaboration and creation, that intentionally integrates high-quality performances and education.
