St. George's is one of the world's leading International schools in the field of music. Our Orchestras and Choirs play at the most famous venues of Rome and tour Europe regularly. Here is a 3 minute audio track (4Mb) of our choir made by the BBC who came to Rome in January 2007 to record Sunday Worship.

Music at St. George’s has a place both in the curriculum and in the everyday life of the school. pupils take music lessons until the end of the Middle School and the subject is offered as IGCSE and I. B. examination courses. Students regularly move on to continue their musical studies at university or music colleges around the world.
About 45% of the pupils take private instrumental or singing lessons every week with the 15 visiting professional teachers, and the school is the biggest centre in Italy for the examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

All pupils are encouraged to participate in instrumental and choral activities which rehearse at lunch time and after school. The more advanced performers are able to join the Chamber Orchestra or Chamber Choir (which is currently 65 singers, mainly Years 12 and 13) and prepare for concerts in Rome, in other Italian cities and abroad. Recently the school has performed part one of the “Messiah” in Cosenza and Civitanova Marche as well as in Rome and recent venues in the capital have included the Oratorio del Gonfalone, Palazzo Barberini, Palazzo Doria Pamphilij and the Teatro Capranica.

The annual Music Tour is now a 25 year-old tradition and this year returns to Athens as in 1982! Over the years the tour has visited Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt (twice) France, Germany (twice) Greece (twice) Luxemburg, Holland, Hungary, Poland, Portugal (three times) Spain (three times) Switzerland, Turkey (twice), and the ex- Yugoslavia. Since 1994 the school has also had the honour of giving a concert sponsored by the Italian Cultural Institute of the city visited.

Over the years pupils have also performed in the closing concert of the Spoleto Festival, dubbed films and appeared briefly in “Gangs of New York” as a choir of Irish orphans.
