Music at St George’s

St George’s has a long and distinguished history of organ and choral music stretching back to the 1880s, when the church was first consecrated. Our choirs represent teams of diverse, talented, and committed choral singers, who enrich our worship, Sunday by Sunday. A number of paid Choral and Organ Scholarships are available to those prepared to become core members of the Parish Choir and to assist with organ accompaniment.

The organ, built by TC Lewis in 1887 and enlarged to four-manuals and 44 stops by JJ Binns in 1902 is one of the most significant instruments of its type in the country. An Organ Restoration project is currently underway and details of how you can become involved can be found here.

The music is supported by Patrons of Music at St George’s. Subscriptions begin at just £25.00 a year, and Patrons make it possible for the choirs to perform with guest instrumentalists and to make cathedral visits.

The music is directed by Drew Cantrill-Fenwick. Drew is one of the UK’s most experienced and versatile church musicians, and has worked on three continents in cathedrals, schools and churches. He is a fellow and prize-winner of the Royal College of Organists and is in demand as an accompanist and recitalist.
