Concerts
Saint James Place isn’t just a venue—it’s a cultural cornerstone in the southern Berkshires—and the perfect place for your concert. Our space is designed to foster creativity, inspire audiences, and provide everything you need to make your concert memorable. Our acoustics are magnificent, our seating is cushioned and comfortable, and we offer wonderful site lines so that nothing on stage is missed.
Located at 352 Main Street in the heart of Great Barrington, we offer outstanding rehearsal and performance spaces, collaborative concert promotion, and full venue support. Our goal is to make your concert experience as seamless and impactful as possible.
Amazing Acoustics
At Saint James Place, we pride ourselves on our world-class acoustics. Every musician who has performed here has been captivated by the incredible sound in our Sanctuary space. The design of the church’s Sanctuary, with its smooth interior walls and vaulted ceiling, works in harmony to deliver a rich, full-bodied sound that surrounds both performers and audiences like a warm hug. It’s the perfect place to hear every note with brilliant clarity.
The intimate ambience of Saint James and its lively acoustics lend a rich, enveloping aura to the sounds produced, and especially those of strings and voice. It is a distinct pleasure to perform there and experience how the space becomes an extension of your instrument. We have had several decades of successful concerts in the hall and always look forward to the next.
