Description
Castle Chorus was started in 2015 and is an Edinburgh based community mixed voice choir.
Led by Caro Bridges, we sing a big range of great songs without accompaniment, including some contemporary folk and some more traditional and roots type music, with a splash of jazz and some more experimental things too.
We also collaborate with Edinburgh-based songwriters and musicians to perform beautiful new arrangements of fresh songs, so we’re at the start of an interesting and exciting journey! We also create compose our own songs, either individually or as a group.
We are a non-auditioning choir and rehearsals are open to anybody who enjoys singing (no need to read music), as well as the odd drink at a local pub after rehearsals.
In the last few years we have performed our own sell-out Christmas carol concerts and a programme of carols at Rosslyn Chapel, as well as regular concerts in venues around Edinburgh, pub and music festival gigs. We have sung on the Isle of Arran and Waterstones, the Botanic Gardens, and sung carols on Princess Street. We’ve been highly commended in the Chorus Awards, sung as part of an Edinburgh Book Festival play, and been featured on BBC Radio Scotland and Castle FM. And lots lots more.
We sing from 6.30 - 8.30 pm on Thursday evenings in a rehearsal space in Edinburgh University buildings, thanks to their community Access to Rooms programme.
