Music

Music is at the heart of worship at St George’s.

St George's maintains one of the few remaining traditional choral foundations in Ireland — and has expanded it. We are now a parish of three choirs and a fine organ, with music sung at every principal service of the week.

“The choir of St George’s has been part of the city’s musical life since the appointment of Edward Bunting as our first organist in 1817.”

The Organ

A fine instrument in a fine building.

The organ of St George’s leads the singing of the people and supports a wide range of repertoire, from plainsong to the great Anglican choral tradition. It is also heard in regular recitals.
