02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are a mixed voice choir which holds two concerts during the year with occasional extra performances. We hold no auditions and there is no requirement to read music, with members bringing a variety of experience from extensive choral singing to none at all. Our repertoire is an eclectic mix ranging from traditional and modern to thoughtful and upbeat. Singing in four part harmony whether Scottish folk, early carols, spirituals, songs from the shows or modern choral our mixed programme is created to lift the spirits. We use sheet music and audio tracks are provided for all the pieces. We are a friendly, inclusive group who enjoy singing together and work hard to continue developing our performance level.
