02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Anstruther Philharmonic society is set up (and it has been in existence for over 100years) to provide the opportunity to sing choral music in a choir, and to be lead by a conductor who will teach and inform the choir. The choir puts on 2 concerts per year (Christmas and Easter approximately) and at the concerts the choir is accompanied by musicians, maybe a small orchestra, and soloists. These people are drawn locally from various places including St. Andrews university and the Glasgow Conservatoire. The choir is about learning and participation, and gives the opportunity for people to socialise in a learning and performing environment. The choir is composed of young and old, the younger element coming as soloists from St.Andrews university and occasionally from the local school. We strive for a high standard and to be adventurous and imaginative in the choices of music. Presently we have Augusto Arias who is Argentinian as our leader.
