  • I had the privilege of singing in this choir - Jonathan Gregory was (to me) someone I would have crawled over broken glass to sing for - an exceptional, inspirational conductor. The St. Georges Singers - Donald Davidson (Organ) and Brona Frame (Oboe)
    Saint George's Singers was formed in 1984 by Jonathan Gregory for the express purpose of performing the great choral masterpieces of the Baroque era. It was a choir of about 50 voices, and membership was by invitation. During Jonathan's time as musical director the choir gained a significant reputation in performing the works of the major Baroque composers, such as J S Bach, Handel and Haydn, although the repertoire expanded to include the work of many other composers. The highlight of this period was a performance of the Britten "War Requiem"
    A major personality in Saint George's Singers from its formation until his untimely death in 2000 was Darcy Chillingworth. Darcy was a one man organising committee throughout his time in the choir, and its survival through testing times is a tribute to his persistence and his hard work.

    Aw, Mr Gregory was my school music teacher at Richmond Lodge, and he brought me into St-George's to sing the Pie Jesu solo at one of their performances! Good memories.

    Ein wunderbares Stück von J.S. Bach, im deutschen Original "Jesus bleibt meine Freude" hier auf Englisch wunderschön interpretiert. Bravo

    2010, I attended more than a couple Sunday Services at St Georges and truly their choir is amazingly wonderful, although the choristers are different from that above. tear jerking their Communion hymns but splendid singing.

      If _only_ Zarth wrote as simply and _mit_ eloquence ! Overplay? Call it as you will, it is uplifting .. mystical, and rejuvenating.

    Wow...that's me second left front row, soprano line back in the day. How lovely to find this recording on you tube. Brings back so many memories and so many faces I had forgotten over the years. Loved the choir under Jonathan Gregory and to think this was all happening at the Ulster Hall in Belfast at the height of The Troubles is amazing really.
