Philip Harper provides a new work for the First Section with 'St James's — A New Beginning'.
It has been commissioned by St James's Church in Piccadilly in support of the Wren Project to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of the acclaimed British architect Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723).
The Parish church was designed by Wren around 1672 and consecrated in in 1684.
His iconic London masterpiece is St Paul's Cathedral, in which he is buried with a tombstone epitaph: "Reader, if you seek his monument — look around you."
