George Sterne, tenor

George Sterne began singing seriously at the age of 11, with the Tucson Boys Chorus, and knew by the age of 12 he wanted singing as his life’s work. He sang throughout his high school years and performed in musical theater. Since completing his college career at Chapman College where he sang with William Hall, Mr. Sterne has sung in nearly every professional group in the Southland including Zephyr, I Cantori, Pasadena Classical Singers and the Los Angeles Chamber Singers. He began his career with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in 1983, and has been in the Los Angeles Opera Chorus since its inception. He was a member of the Carmel Bach Festival Chorus from 1984–2000, and has been a member of the Master Chorale outreach group, the Chamber Singers, since 1993. For Mr. Sterne and his wife Nicole, also a member of the Master Chorale, choral music is a passion which has enriched their lives and will continue to do so far into the future.
