He has also been the Assistant Chorus Master of the Halle Chorus, and has worked with young people at Moreton Hall School in Shropshire and the Centre of Young Musicians in The Hague, alongside establishing a thriving private teaching and coaching practice too.

St George’s Choir:

Rehearsals are held on Sundays at 8.30am, and are open to all – we don’t hold auditions, so do come and be part of this friendly community.

Our Director of our Children’s Choir, Altrincham Trebles, is Olivia Hamblyn:

Introducing Olivia:

We are delighted to have Olivia on board as our Children’s Choir director. Olivia is a Mezzo-Soprano studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, and also leads the Liverpool Philharmonic Children & Youth Choirs and Sale Youth Choirs. She is also a Halle Choral Leader and has a passion for bringing music to young people in fun and exciting ways, as she demonstrated today!

Olivia is also exploring how music enriches those with special needs too, particularly for children who are autistic, so it truly is a choir open to all.

Altrincham Trebles:

In Sept. 2023, we started a children’s choir! This choir is held on a Tuesday at 3.20pm after school and is a fun and a fantastic community. Our choir is focused on teaching our pupils how to sing properly, how to read music and for those that want it, they will be fully prepared to sit the relevant ABRSM exams—setting them up for any musical adventure that they want to peruse in secondary school. In other words, we’ll offering free musical tuition that will last your child a lifetime. As someone who is not musical, but has a daughter who has been given opportunities to be well taught and nurtured in all things music, I can testify to the life changing difference that it makes and the opportunities that come from it.
