Looks like a great concert next week at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh by @echo_vocal. Music by Robert Ramsay, C17th Scottish composer, alongside contemporary pieces, including one by Alexander @GWChamberChoir https://t.co/mKiQDHTVIe

[Music at Watson's @MusicGWC]

@Wiganboy @echo_vocal That's fantastic, not least because Ailie is a FP too!

On Friday morning we had an inspirational musical workshop with @lucy_drever & @CalumHuggan that really tested our percussion and composing skills. We can't wait to see everything come together on Sunday! Thank you Lucy and Calum for such a fun and stimulating session. #Inspired

This looks like an exciting opportunity for young singers, might be of interest to current S6s in @GWChamberChoir or recent leavers who are in Edinburgh.
