St George’s school has a long and established tradition for promoting choral music. The inter-house music competition, Sunday and weekday Chapel services and concerts all provide opportunities for students of all ages to sing throughout the year. Did you know that in the 1960’s the Music Society Choir was created to offer parents, staff and students the opportunity to join a choir and sing in an annual concert?

Who?

The St George’s School Music Society Choir (or MusSoc) is one of the oldest societies in the school with its origins dating back to the 1910s. It was founded as a non-auditioned choir, open to all parents/ carers of pupils at the school, and staff. The choir is still going, and it is still non-auditioned and meets for rehearsals on a Tuesday evening during term time from 7.00 pm until 8.15 pm in the Old Library.

The choir sings regularly throughout the year at various concerts and services, most recently singing Haydn’s Nelson Mass and Vivaldi’s Gloria as part of a massed choir in a concert at Our Lady of Lourdes, Harpenden back in June 2024. This Autumn term the choir is preparing music for a Remembrance service at St Leonard’s, Flamstead on Saturday 9th November and for the Georgian Carol service on Saturday 14th December in the school Chapel.

We are currently recruiting new members and if you enjoy singing and are interested in joining, then please come along to the Old Library on a Tuesday evening. You will be most welcome!
