Strathallan residential weekend 2012

This evening members of RSCM Scottish Voices will gather from all over the country and assemble in the delightful setting of Strathallan School in rural Perthshire to take part in the 2012 annual residential rehearsal weekend.

There will be loads of good music (I know, I've seen the secret list!), good friends, good fun, good laughs, and, naturally, good and extended partying!

The 2013 season will be announced to the choir over the weekend, and posted here on Sunday afternoon, so watch this space.

We hope to organise an audition day in the autumn for prospective new members hoping to join us in 2013.  Contact the administrator using the email address in the sidebar to the right if you're interested, or you want to find out more.  But read the blurb on the right first, there are some criteria which need fulfilled by members (age, residence etc).

End of season

RSCM Scottish Voices has now reached the end of our successful 2011 season, and choir members have each turned their attention to their individual church choirs in the run up to Advent and Christmas.

The next time we meet together will be on Saturday 11th February 2012 in St Ninian's Episcopal Cathedral in Perth, and more details of that service, and other assorted random posts, will appear here in due course.

Check out our "future services and events" page in the sidebar on the right to see what's in store for 2012, which is promising to be a busy year for us.

Lastly for now, we still have a few spaces for new singers in some parts, so please email the administrator, Gary Young, if you're interested in auditioning.  Details of eligibility and contact details etc can be found in the sidebar on the right.
