Our Support for St Giles’
Our profits support St Giles’ Development Projects – including raising funds for music and teaching, and our plans to install a new teaching and performance organ at St Giles’ (we have 30 organ students) as well as for improvements to our facilities in the building and the work of St Giles’ in the community.
Our Sponsors
Sponsors are being sought for 2026. Can you make a donation to St Giles’? We can provide recognition in our promotion for organisations that would like to be associated with our concerts.
Our Patron: Jacqui Dankworth
“One of our finest singers, regardless of category”
Clive Davis, Sunday Times.
As from 2019, Jacqui Dankworth, one of the most highly regarded vocalists in the UK, has agreed to be our patron. We are very grateful to Jacqui for her continuing support to Jazz at St Giles.
“…. she exhibits a subtle control of dynamics and a voluptuous tonal richness that seems to make almost any material sound special.” John Fordham, The Guardian
Recent Reviews
The venue of St. Giles’ Church also deserves a huge shout-out. The acoustics were incredible and despite the chill in the air, the welcome was very warm and friendly, with a great team of helpers providing interval drinks and snacks and even a little tabletop sale at the back of the church. Kudos to this welcome, the church has apparently raised a cool £26,000 with such events over the last year, which, in the current economic climate, shows a distinct amount of loyalty to the venue. Long may it continue. Oxford Daily Information
Our Founder: Jean Darke
The founder of Jazz at St Giles, our lovely friend and Musical Inspiration, Jean Darke, passed from us on March 4 2021 after a short illness. Our Spring 2026 Series 14 will celebrate Jean’s life as a musician, and especially her enduring legacy to us which was the love of jazz which she shared so generously with us all through creating our JASG series. We are still going strong!
