What makes the St. George s choir unique is our vigorous repertoire . This year we plan to sing the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 in concert. We have sung with combined choirs for the consecrations of the Bishops of Virginia, and in concert in and beyond our region. We have also sung liturgical dramas, and participated in the musical productions Noah s Flood, Amal and the Night Visitors , and Godspell . The choir is composed of adult singers, ranging in age from 16 to 80.
Talent is a less critical component than commitment is, because creating harmony is a joint effort.
Some choir members volunteer to lead the sung psalm every Sunday as well, for which they prepare on their own. The gift of the choir is the gift of music . Jane Tavernier picks the anthems to enhance the lessons of the day, but sometimes that anthem can lift the listener to a new understanding of the Word of God. As for the performers, giving the gift of music is extremely fulfilling. The adult choir is open to anyone who enjoys singing, sings in the shower, or warbles in the car .
