With a current membership of around 30 singers, Glasgow Chamber choir was founded in 1994 and has developed into one of Scotland’s finest amateur choirs. The repertoire spans the Rennaissance to the present day and has included the Scottish premiere of James Whitbourn's "Son of God" Mass for mixed voices, organ and soprano saxophone and a performance of James MacMillan's Mass with the composer present. We aim to perform 4 or 5 concerts a year and are available for private performances including weddings and carol concerts.

More Choir twinning

In April we will welcome the Örgryte Kyrkokör, a church choir from the burgh of Örgryte in Gothenburg, Sweden. They are coming to Scotland as the first part of a musical exchange and we will then go over to visit and perform with them in June.

See our News Archive for previous twinning including last year with the St Joris Kamerkoor and watch a video of us performing together in the St. Catharinakathedral, Utrecht.
