The Stonehaven Chorus
The Stonehaven Chorus is a mixed voice choir of around 50 people from a wide range of backgrounds. Most of the singers live in and around the coastal town of Stonehaven near Aberdeen in Scotland, but a number travel from further afield. We rehearse weekly in Mackie Academy, on Mondays at 7.30pm. Our recitals take place in Stonehaven in December and May each year, and we often organise additional recitals in Aberdeenshire, or further afield. Our most recent tour was to Germany where we performed in Cologne Cathedral. Closer to home, we recently sang at Crathie Church, Balmoral. Our next adventure sees us flying to Iceland in the summer of 2012. Under the musical directorship of composer and conductor, Dr John Hearne we have built up a repertoire of unaccompanied and accompanied choral works, and have recently made a CD of some of our favourites.

Are you planning your wedding?Just imagine how beautiful choral music could add to your day. We regularly sing at weddings in Aberdeen, Stonehaven and Aberdeenshire. The picture below shows us after singing at a wedding in St Machar's Cathedral, Aberdeen. We have an extensive repertoire of music to sing before or during the service, and can augment the congregational singing of hymns. We can also sing during the signing of the register, or provide a triumphal soundtrack to your procession up the aisle. We are happy to discuss repertoire with the bride and groom, and invite you to contact us (see links and contacts page). |
