Virtual Social

The Saint James Music Academy Spring Concert returns, held this year virtually in every home. We celebrate another year of music and learning, of laughter and growth in the lives of our wonderful children. SJMA concerts are a great opportunity for us to remember the goodness all around us, and to let our children know how proud we are of their achievements.

Although we can't yet gather for the in-person concerts that have meant so much to us all, we can and do hold on to what endures: the transcendent power of music, the joy of community, the pride of being the parent or caregiver or friend to a blossoming, beautiful young person, and the knowledge that the child in your life is walking into a better future.

Thank you for joining us to celebrate another extraordinary year at SJMA!
