St George's is home to a vibrant community of musicians

​As well as being home to a busy concert series, St George’s hosts

a variety of liturgical services in which music plays a key role

in supporting and enhancing the worship.

This will be the seventh year of the Choral Young Artist scheme.​

The scheme is designed for students or recent graduates aiming to develop their choral and solo singing. In addition to the liturgical duties, there are plenty of other performance opportunities available for successful choral scholar applicants.

Previous choral scholars have furthered their studies at establishments such as the National Opera Studio, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and the Opernhaus Zürich and have sung with other prominent ensembles including Tenebrae, I Fagiolini and Polyphony.

The Young Artists perform music in a wide variety of styles, from Renaissance motets to contemporary commissions. The scheme is for a one-year period with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement.

All Young Artists sing together on the first Sunday of the month, with other Sundays in the month being sung by a solo Young Artist on a rotational basis.
