A place to keep news, announcements and other information that is no longer currrent.

In May 2008 we had a great trip to Glasgow's latest twin city, Marseille, where we performed two concerts, met our twinned choir La Maîtrise Gabriel Fauré and had a wonderful time. More details and photos to come at some stage.

Choir twinning (June 2007)
Glasgow's latest twin city is Marseilles and as part of the cultural exchange we have twinned with the longest established ladies' choir from Marseilles, La Maîtrise Gabriel Fauré. See below for details of a concert where we will be performing together. (For those who don't speak French here is Google's automatic translation of the La
Maîtrise website)

Change of Music Director (Summer 2005)

Glasgow Chamber Choir is sorry to announce the departure of Andrew Griffiths as Music Director after only one season. We would like to thank him for all that he has contributed to the choir in the last year and we wish him well in his new job which has taken him away from Glasgow to London.

We are, however, delighted to announce the appointment of Michael Bawtree as our new Music Director and look forward to working with him.

On Friday 18th March, we performed in an unusual venue, the Glasgow Subway, to raise money for the choir and for Research Into Eating Disorders (Charity Number 284286). The Evening Times published an article about it the night before and here are some photos (click on a thumbnail to get the larger photo in a new window):
