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. Musical guest artists and dancers join us every year, and we were delighted that this year we again welcomed the Broxburn and Livingston Band and KS Dance Academy.
Upcoming performances
We are busy preparing for our Christmas concerts. We will be at the Salvation Army Hall, East Adam Street at 7pm on Sunday 15 December for a joint event to support the Salvation Army Christmas toy appeal. We will also be holding our annual event at Morningside Parish Church at 7.30pm on Wednesday 18 December in support of the disabled men’s Wednesday club. Both events are by donation on the door, and we would love to see you there.
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.
