02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The object of the Choir is to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of choral music in all its aspects, by the presentation of public concerts, recitals, and to be willing to help in the welfare of the community by such other ways as the Choir, through its Committee, shall determine from time to time. In addition to performing large scale works, accompanied by professional orchestras and soloists, we also undertake smaller recital concerts both in Helensburgh and elsewhere. The choir has given several recitals in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, Enable, CHAS, Alzheimer Scotland. Thus, we aim to enhance the cultural quality of life for the community.
