Welcome to The Edinburgh Telephone Choir

We are an Edinburgh based choir who sing a wide range of light music at different events through the year. As well as sharing our passion for singing, the choir raises money for charities. We have two nominated charities at our annual show each year, and we perform for fundraising events organised by groups such as church guilds.

Concerts

Our popular annual musical variety show is held in the Church Hill Theatre over three days at the end of April or beginning of May, and has become an Edinburgh institution.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas concert at the Salvation Army Hall in support the Salvation Army Christmas toy appeal. We also held our annual carol service at Morningside Parish Church in support of the Wednesday Club.

Upcoming performances

We are now preparing for our spring concert, ‘Written in the Stars’. We will be at the Church Hill Theatre from 1 to 3 May, further details will be here when tickets are available.

Join Us

We are currently accepting new singers in all voice parts.

Although we occasionally sing in unison, most of our music is in three or four part harmony. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know whether you are a soprano, alto, tenor or bass; we will fit you in.

About the Choir

The Choir was formed in Edinburgh in 1947 by Mollie Scott, a Lady Supervisor in the then Rose Street Telephone Exchange, for ladies working in the exchange. The original ladies only choir recruited gentlemen in 1950 to enable a wider range of music to be undertaken with part singing.

Our second event of Christmas was our Annual Carol concert at Morningside Parish Church of Scotland tonight raising funds for the Wednesday Club for the disabled. It was a lovely evening for us to be able to sing for you. Many thanks to all who attended, and many thanks to the Church helpers for a lovely supper. And finally A big thank you to Lindsey our M.D. for all your hard work in getting us concert ready.The concert would be the last one for one of our longer serving members, 24 to be precise, as Ian has decided to hang up his red bow-tie for a well earned rest. You will be missed, especially in the bass section. Thank you Ian for all you’ve done for the choir. Merry Christmas. See MoreSee Less
