Our history
Our choir started, in 2007 in Moniaive, under the name The Singers Club Glencairn, and were originally under the direction of Ali Burns who also ran the Feral Choir based in Castle Douglas. Changing both our name and musical director along the way, there are a few of us who have been with the choir since the start but are joined by a changing range of like minded folk with each of our twice yearly terms. Choir numbers vary from 35 to 45 in general.
Our concerts
Our concert programmes are put together in collaboration with choir members and the Musical Director. They often follow a theme, such as hope and justice, connection and separation, and nature. We also take part in community events and festivals. We use a core theme and the music, song and spoken work weave together seamlessly making a unique experience for everyone involved. We also commission songs and other inputs to our larger scale projects from D&G-based composers, installation artists, writers, poets and others.
