Anglican Choral Worship is a unique blend of music and liturgy which has evolved over a thousand years and has a profound effect on all who attend. Sadly it is now under threat throughout the church. The Choral Partnership is a small, selected group of people connected with St George's Chapel, working under the chairmanship of the Precentor, with the aim of ensuring that within St George's Chapel this form of daily worship should continue at the highest standard.

The Choral Partnership finances concerts, commissions music for concerts and for worship, purchases music for the music library and hires music as needed. It has also purchased staging for concerts. It is now establishing a capital fund which in time will realise sufficient income to ensure that no boy of talent will be unable to accept a place as a chorister because his parents cannot meet the balance of the costs of his education at St George's School. The Dean and Canons pay half fees for each chorister (currently about £4,500 a year per chorister).

As well as receiving many individual donations, the Partnership runs a variety of evening events. These range from pre-booked conducted tours of the Chapel for parties of 30-80 after attending Evensong, to more elaborate events for Livery Companies or specialist groups. These events may start with Evensong or include a private Recital by the Choir in the Quire and end with a Buffet Supper. The Partnership also manages specially constructed events for Corporate Entertainment. It also seeks large donations and the endowment of half-fee Bursaries which can, of course, carry the name of the donor.
