St. George’s Choir Volunteer Opportunities
Do you love to sing? Are you invigorated by working with dedicated, talented people? If so, I’d love to talk with you about joining St. George’s Choir. We’re a warm, hard-working, creative group with a passion for making excellent music for our Lord in worship. While our Choir includes an outstanding group of 17 professional singers, most of our Choir members are parishioners who volunteer their time and talents. Summer is a great time to “get your feet wet” by singing with us on Sunday morning. We meet at 9:00am in the Summer, before singing at the 10:00am service. Please call me at 385-2150 x 254 or email me at mark.ring@stgeorgesnashville.org. I’d love to visit with you about joining us!
Royal School of Church Music
We are so proud of our children and youth who are engaged in the Royal School of Church Music curriculum through St. Gregory’s and St. Dunstan’s Choirs. Under the tutelage of Dr. Mark Ring, Gerry Senechal, Laurel Fisher, and Rachel Hansbury, our young people spend time each week studying not only musical performance
and musicianship skills, but also studies in both Liturgy and Christian Discipleship. They progress through a range of levels (“colours”) and, based on assessment of their achievements at each level, they may qualify for RSCM medals to be worn with their vestments when singing in worship.
