Carolthon - 14th December 2024 Donate to the Carolthon via our Just Giving page here or scan the QR code on the poster Click on the poster to the right to enlarge it We'll be in the Eastgate Centre between 11am and 3pm singing lots of favourite Christmas carols as well as some seasonal choral pieces. We hope you'll stop and listen as you pass by, or even come along especially to hear us. We'll be in our usual spot near the top of the escalator just outside M&S on the first floor. This year our charity partner for the Carolthon is Highlands and Islands Blood Bikes. Some of their members will be there with us on the day. They are a volunteer run charity which operates a fleet of specially equipped motorcycles which can efficiently transport medical consignments across Highlands and beyond. You can find out more about this worthwhile work here. If you'd like to make a donation to our Carolthon (money raised is shared equally between Highlands and Islands Blood Bikes and The Choral Society) you can give on the day or via this link which will take you to our Just Giving page Please come along and support this important work. |

Our winter 2024 concert was held on Saturday 16th November in Inverness Cathedral. We thoroughly enjoyed singing this less well known work by Puccini as well as pieces by Mozart, Bruckner and Rossini, and appreciate all the positive feedback we've had from those who were there. Thanks as always to our soloists, Rowan Gillard (Tenor) and Seamus Brady (Bass), the orchestra, and Gordon our conductor and Adrian our accompanist, who have guided us with such patience over the weeks to get us "concert ready". As always we are grateful to you, our audience for coming along to support us. Here are a few pictures from rehearsals and the concert.
Our soloists for this concert were Rowan Gillard (Tenor) and Seamas Brady (Bass).
