“A varied first half programme with the usual carols etc. for the second half. Some really good pieces and hopefully it will be a great concert!”

Members of Angus Choral support our concerts and I urge to do like wise.

Their Spring Concert will take place on Saturday 21 April 2012 in Brechin Cathedral at 7.30 pm where they hope to sing the Brahm’s Requiem.
I will keep you all posted with details as and when they happen.

You may be interested to learn that one of our members will be appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe this year.
That stalwart of the Bass section, Mark Masson, will be appearing in ‘The Long Road’ at the “space on the mile” namely the Radison Hotel, on the 26th and 27th of August. The play itself will run from 22nd to the 27th at 14.35pm and there are two full casts.
If you are in Edinburgh on these dates then why not go and support Mark or why not just make a day of it!.
Fringe venues are hard to fill and so all support will be welcomed.

Making Music Scotland ORCAL Project 2011-2012

This is an important communication, which I would be most grateful if you would make your committee and members aware of.

Making Music Scotland’s orchestral project ORCAL is about to run for a fourth year. It has become very popular amongst those who have already participated, and we want as many people to become involved as possible.

For that reason, I would be most grateful if you could make details about this project known to members of your group. If you are not an orchestral or instrumental group, don’t forget that some of your members maybe are instrumentalists also and interested in taking part in the project!!

The following pages give you the details of the project for 2011-2012 together with a booking form. This information and the form is also available on the website at
