MidWinter Turning 2020: Local singers go virtual to support The Junction

Local singers from SongTribe, a vibrant performance choir led by Alison Burns, have not let the pandemic stop them from hosting their annual MidWinter Turning concert on 20th December in support of small charity The Junction Edinburgh. 

The free concert, which will be broadcast live on Youtube at 4pm on Sunday, will feature a series of engaging videos with original music and arrangements by Alison Burns sung by the choir from across Edinburgh.

There will also be readings from poet Tom Pow, actress Liz Kettle and storyteller David Francis and the first look at a new Crankie designed by talented artist Ruth Cameron. Viewers will be encouraged to donate to The Junction after enjoying the concert.

The 65 singers involved in the MidWinter Turning have rehearsed online for months to make this spectacle happen, getting to grips with new technology whilst missing singing in person together fiercely.

The MidWinter Turning 2020 is a culmination of their hard work, and a fitting reflection for what has been a difficult year for so many.
