Choir

Our Choir

St George’s has a longstanding tradition of excellent choral music. It has sung in many of the country’s major cathedrals, taken part in radio and television broadcasts, and toured to the United States, Estonia and Rome. The choir currently sings for the morning Eucharist at St George’s every Sunday, except for the first Sunday of the month when it sings Choral Evensong.

Charlie Warren – Organist and Director of Music

The choir is comprised of auditioned volunteer adults who in many cases are professional musicians, teachers and ex professional singers. It has a wide repertoire, encompassing music from Renaissance polyphony to the classical Viennese school, as well as contemporary and specially commissioned works.

The choir is always open to new members who have some experience of singing, can read music, and are interested in singing a broad repertoire to a high standard. We would particularly welcome new singers in the alto and tenor section at the moment.

If you are interested in joining the choir, please contact the Director of Music, Charlie Warren, via the church office  email  – office@stgeorgesbeckenham.co.uk.

Since 2013 St George’s has developed a Choral Foundation with paid scholarships for student singers in their late teens and twenties.  The choir is immensely grateful for the support of the Friends of Cathedral Music, who awarded several grants to make this possible. See here for more information about the scholarships, which usually follow the academic year from September to August, though applications may be accepted at other times of year if there are vacancies.
