Music at St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate

St. Sepulchre's has an illustrious musical tradition. The ashes of Sir Henry Wood, founder of the Promenade Concerts - the longest running continuous series of orchestral concerts in the world - are interred in the Musicians' Chapel where now can be found the Musicians' Book of Remembrance containing the names of over two thousand professional musicians as well as windows dedicated to John Ireland, Dame Nellie Melba and others. St. Sepulchre's was the first London home of the School of English Church Music - now the RSCM - founded by Sydney Nicholson in 1928.

Nowadays, St. Sepulchre's again has a thriving musical life and detail of the range of musical activities - the St. Sepulchre Choir, Choral Scholars, St. Sepulchre Singers - weekly Choral Evensong and lunchtime and evening concerts - are detailed here.
