SERVICE DETAILS
REHEARSALS
The choir rehearses on Monday evenings at 7:15pm until 9:30pm in the Dean in Edinburgh’s West End. Occasional workshops are also held throughout the year to develop musicianship and choral ensemble.
With around 30 dedicated singers, the choir has the size and scope to tackle a range of works and to nurture individual and choral skills.
REPERTOIRE
The Scottish Chamber Choir approaches a wide-ranging repertoire with fresh ideas and an enthusiasm for making new musical connections. The SCC takes pride in singing a broad spectrum of music: ancient to contemporary, sacred and secular, accompanied and a cappella.
CONCERTS
Usually we have around 10 rehearsals for each concert and sing three main concerts each season in venues around Edinburgh and beyond. The choir is keen to seek out venues appropriate to particular concert repertoire and which are lovely to sing – and listen – in. Recently we have performed Carver in St John’s Kirk in Perth, and Palestrina in Rosslyn Chapel and in The Priory Church, South Queensferry.
We sing in other settings – and small groups of singers from the choir sing at weddings and other celebrations across Scotland.
MEMBERSHIP
We are always happy to hear from singers who would like to join The Scottish Chamber Choir. We invite all interested newcomers to a rehearsal to let them experience the way we work. If they then would like to join the choir, an audition will be arranged with our musical director. We are currently actively looking for new tenors and basses but would welcome applicants from all voice parts.
Please contact our membership secretary to arrange this – membership@scottishchamberchoir.org.uk.
