History of the St George Singers Choir
The St George Singers were formed 40 years ago by a group of singers who used to attend school together in Bristol. Originally they were asked to sing at the school Christmas concerts, but decided they would like to sing together more often. The first concert was conducted by Jim Williams, who still conducts, and is Musical Director today.
Many of the first concerts were performed by a smaller group throughout multiple pubs in the St George area of Bristol, eventually growing to the number of singers we have today, performing in churches all over Bristol and even in places as far as Devon and Cornwall. We are always looking for new locations to sing at; if you have somewhere you would like us to sing for charity, please get in touch.
Currently the St George Singers boasts up to 50 members and is a community choir, meaning there are no auditions. We pride ourselves on being a friendly community and have some members who can read music and some who don't - it is perfect for people of all ages and abilities.
Every year we chose a charity to support, usually local charities, at our concerts. We do not sell tickets to our concerts, but rely on donations only as we believe music should be available regardless of income. No members take any money from the donations; every penny gets sent to the charity. Members contribute minimal subs each year which go towards heating/renting costs of Holy Trinity Church where we practice each week and we sing a lot of music from the public domain to keep costs reduced.
