Mozart Requiem: Atlanta Mozart Choir




Kathleen Kelly-George, Choral Conductor.
Atlanta Mozart Choir
Ms. Kelly-George teaches chorus at St. Martin's Episcopal School in Atlanta, GA.  She studied conducting under Elliot DelBorgo and Brock McElheran, and voice and vocal pedagogy with Robert Holland, Lois Vaccariello, and Patricia Misslin. Kathy has sung with the ASO Chorus and ASO Chamber Chorus since 1998.  In demand as a conductor, Kathy brings her many years as a chorister plus her passion for the art of conducting to every musical, concert, and church service that she leads.  She is an avid student of conducting and can often be found researching archival footage of the great master conductors. From Broadway to Pop to Opera, Kathy includes a variety of genres when she takes the podium.

The Atlanta Mozart Choir
It should come as no surprise that The Atlanta Mozart Choir, formed for the Friday night performances of the Mozart Requiem, is comprised of members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, who are musical partners of the ATL Symphony Musicians.  The orchestra and chorus have performed together since 1970 and are grateful for the opportunity to perform with them now, as companions in the lockout of the orchestra by ASO Management and the Woodruff Arts Center.

Several members of this chorus have sung with the orchestra for more than 40 years, while a good number have more than 20 or 30 years’ history singing with the ASO, under the batons of Robert Shaw, Yoel Levi, Robert Spano, and Donald Runnicles. The chorus has participated in many of the recordings which received the 27 Grammy awards.  

The Atlanta Mozart Choir … members of The ASO Chorus … dedicate this performance to ending the lockout and returning world-class symphonic and choral performances to the people of Atlanta.
