Order chamber Choir CD - The Edinburgh Academy

The Chamber Choir

Our singers are always enthusiastic; they have to be, as rehearsals take place before school at 8:15 four mornings per week. This continuity helps their voices develop carefully, and ensures that they learn a wide range of repertoire, which in turn improves their sight reading skills. Music is always carefully chosen, edited, arranged or transposed to best suit their young voices. They regularly sing sacred and secular music from the 16th century to the present day.

A wide range of styles and venues

The choir's repertoire not only covers a wide range of styles but also of languages. In recent years they have sung in English, Scots, Latin, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Icelandic, Russian and Zulu.

The choir has sung evensong several times in York Minster, as well as Durham Cathedral, Carlisle Cathedral, St Mar's Episcopal Cathedral and St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh. They regularly give concerts in the Edinburgh area as well as in school, and tours have taken them to France and Germany.
