Edinburgh’s largest community choir is about to take shape in a new collaboration between Love Music Productions and the Usher Hall. Love Music Community Choir hopes to attract 250 enthusiastic singers to Edinburgh’s premier concert hall. The first choir session takes place on Tuesday 5 February.
The choir is open to anyone who wants and loves to sing. There are no auditions and no age restrictions (although anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult). Everyone is welcome, whether complete beginners or regular crooners.
A range of music will be enjoyed and programming will reflect the broad presentation of concerts at the Usher Hall. World, jazz, classical, rock and indie, folk, gospel, opera and all things in-between.
Councillor Richard Lewis, Convenor of Culture & Leisure commented: “I’m sure there are lots of would-be singers in Edinburgh who would really enjoy this opportunity to come out and join in. So I hope they won’t be shy but take the first step and get in touch”.
Love Music Director and the choir’s conductor, Stephen Deazley said: “We’re delighted that the Usher Hall is joining with us in this exciting new project, opening up this wonderful venue to the people of Edinburgh so that we can sing together and inspire each other with amazing music”.
The choir will meet every Tuesday with the first meeting taking place on Tuesday 5 February from 7pm – 9pm.
