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 excited to be preparing for our next show, ‘Written in the Stars’. We will be at the Church Hill Theatre on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 May at 7.30pm, and Saturday 3 May at 2.30pm. Tickets are available from TicketSource here. They can also be bought through choir members.

Join Us

We would be delighted to speak to potential new members for our next season.

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.
