History
The Grade II* listed building started its life as a church in 1823. In 1975, a new programme of lunchtime concerts began at St George’s, endorsed by the BBC – St George’s Music Trust was created. The first evening concert took place in 1981.
Across the 1990s, St George’s was transformed into a concert hall. By 1995, the old church’s crypt had become a bar, toilets and lifts were installed. During 1998 and 1999, the church pews were replaced with seats, the stage was rebuilt, and the Box Office was created. The turn of the millennium marked the addition of contemporary music and jazz to the St George’s programme.
