Local Community Engagement

Singing in your community

We like to get out and about and sing in local communities. If you have a venue with an organ and room for 70 singers, we’d love to visit! Get in touch with us.

We returned to live singing, after COVID-19 impacted on all our lives, at St Michael and All Angels’ Church, Helensburgh in June 2022, where we performed a varied programme to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

We like to perform an accessible variety of music which hopefully appeals to everyone, whether you are a fan of choral music or not! Our current repertoire includes short well-known pieces such as Handel’s Coronation Anthem Zadok the Priest and Parry’s I Was Glad, as well as more recent compositions such as The Ground by Ola Gjello, O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen and Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho (Feel the Spirit) by John Rutter.

Singing for Syrians

During Christmas 2017, we were proud to perform a Christmas carol concert in Glasgow’s Merchant Square in aid of Singing for Syrians. This is a nationwide initiative, offering a positive way to raise money for some of Syria’s most vulnerable people.

Singing for Syrians is part of the Hands Up Foundation which supports partner organisations working in and around Syria. Hands Up focusses on funding long-term and sustainable work in Health and Education to respond to the vast and varying needs of those affected by Syria’s conflict.
