2016 season announced

Hot off the press, our choir members have just been enjoying our annual residential rehearsal weekend which this year has been at the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan Castle, and during the weekend all of the venues for our 2016 season were announced, so including the remaining three events of 2015 all of our confirmed future activities can now be revealed to the world as:

  • 5th Sep 2015, 4pm - St John's Episcopal Cathedral, Oban - Choral Evensong
  • 3rd Oct 2015, 4pm - St Ninian's Episcopal Cathedral, Perth - Choral Evensong
  • 14th Nov 2015, 4pm - Old Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Edinburgh - Joint Choral Evensong with Young Scottish Voices
  • 6th Feb 2016, 5.30pm - Carlisle Cathedral - Choral Evensong
  • 19th Mar 2016,  4pm - St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Glasgow- Choral Evensong

  • 8th Oct 2016, 4pm - St Cuthbert's Parish Church, Edinburgh - Choral Evensong
  • 12th Nov 2016, 4pm - Culross Abbey - Joint service with Young Scottish Voices
With so many lovely cathedrals, abbeys, and churches around the country it's sometimes hard paring down our wish-list to something workable, but 2016 looks like it's going to be a great year with a couple of welcome return visits (St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow and Dunblane Cathedral), and the rest being first visits for us, including of course our first real foray across the border to our friends in England.

Full details of each service will be announced here and on Twitter nearer the time, and of course dates and venues are always published in The Network which is distributed to RSCM members and affiliated churches alongside Church Music Quarterly.
