Saint George’s Singers is a large Belfast-based choir. We are a diverse cross-community group who share a love of singing and of performing to the highest standard that we can achieve. Although we sing a wide range of music drawn from the 16th-21st Centuries, our special focus is on great choral works of the Baroque and Classical periods.
St. George’s Church, the place where our choir began over thirty years ago, is a beautiful and welcoming environment to sing in. Situated beside the Albert Clock in Belfast City Centre, it remains our weekly rehearsal venue and a favorite place for our concerts.

We are much looking forward to our next concert in St.George’s which will take place on the evening of Friday 23rd August. It will be a very special one for us as we are hosting and singing with the Motettenchor choir from Stuttgart in Germany who are visiting Belfast for the first time. Some of our choir members travelled to Stuttgart to sing with the German choir, who presented a similar concert in early June.
Both concerts will feature a setting of the Mass ordinary in Latin by the Argentine composer Martin Palmeri: ‘Misa a Buenos Aires’, better known as ‘Misatango’ because the music uses the style of the nuevo tango (“new tango”) which is a melding of traditional tango rhythms and jazz-inspired syncopation. It is scored for mezzo-soprano, mixed choir and an ensemble of bandoneon, piano and strings.
