George has been the organist and carillonneur for Central Christian Church since 1958. George received a Bachelor’s Degree from Tulsa University and a Master’s in Music from The University of Texas at Austin.  He edited The Bulletin (a scholarly journal) for The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America for 16 annual issues.

A multi-talented musician, George was a professor of Music at San Antonio College for 39 years, where he taught organ, cello, harp, music theory, and Renaissance instruments. He is the Director of the San Antonio Early Music Ensemble, and was in residence with the Sante Fe Desert Chorale and also The San Antonio Children's Chorus. George received special recognition from the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America with a rarely bestowed honorary membership. The Berkeley Medal for "Distinguished service to the Carillon" was awarded to him in 1985 by the University of California at Berkeley. He performs as a guest carillonneur throughout the United States and internationally. For over 20 years he was the harpsichordist/organist for the San Antonio Symphony. He was also a cellist for the Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. A man with a quiet, wry sense of humor, he proudly states that as long as he played his cello at Fort Sam, San Antonio was never invaded!
