This professional choir is made up of students and
professionals based at the Church of St. Michael
& St. George in St. Louis, Missouri.
It has a broad repertoire of music from several
centuries, strongly concentrating on Anglican music. Their performances of anthems,
canticles, motets and Psalms are performed at several services that include
Morning Prayer, Evensong and the Holy Eucharist.
Since 2008 their choirmaster has been Robert Lehman who
plays the organ and harpsichord as well as composing. He has given many performances
nationally and internationally.
Under the leadership of the Choirmaster and organist
Edward A. Wallace they made the holiday recording The Stupendous Stranger: Music for Christmas and Epiphany. This recording had several tracks
recording at St. Louis’
Christ Church Cathedral with William Partridge on organ and included solo
performances by Christine Brewer and Kevin Koontz.
Another holiday recording under the leadership of
Edward A. Wallace is A Choral
Flourish which was performed at St. Paul’s
Cathedral and Westminster Abbey with the organ played by B. Michael
Parrish.
