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 next concerts will be for Christmas 2026. We are delighted to be joining again with the Salvation Army for a service in support of their Christmas Appeal on Sunday 13 December. We are also very pleased to be returning to Morningside Parish Church in support of their Wednesday Club on Wednesday 16 December.
At our spring 2027 shows we will be celebrating the choir’s 80th anniversary. We’d love you to be a part of it – new singers will be warmly welcomed in all voice parts. Click on the link below to get more information.
Join Us
We would be delighted to speak to potential new members for our new season starting on Monday 7 September.
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.
