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.
Our recent annual show with our fantastic partners from KS Dance Academy and Broxburn and Livingston Band was a resounding success. If you missed it you will have the chance to catch the choir’s numbers as we again perform at the Edinburgh Fringe on Saturday 9 August 2025. Tickets can be bought through the Fringe box office or on the door (availability permitting).

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.
