We are a mixed Community Choir, based in Moray, Scotland, since January 2004, and led by experienced musicians and choir leaders Kate O'Connell and Bill Henderson. We sing inspirational songs from around the world: African, Georgian, Gospel, Gaelic, Welsh, Eastern European, Pop, Taizé, traditional, contemporary, and many more.

We offer a safe atmosphere to discover and develop your natural singing voice. We are open to everyone, no auditions. No musical experience necessary, learning by ear.

The choir perform a concert every other year, and enjoy appearing at Community and other events. Taking part is voluntary.

In Spring 2005, 25 members made a first Choir Trip to Iona where we sang in the Abbey. This grew into a yearly tradition during October school holidays. In 2010 and 2011 we were closer to home, near Carrbridge.

We have around 80 members, beginners and experienced singers, 50 of them regulars. We encourage people to come regularly to learn the songs but drop-in is also possible.


Both Kate and Bill are members of The Natural Voice Practitioners' Network (NVPN).
