Carolthon 14th December 2024

Our annual Carolthon was held on Saturday 16th December 2023 in the Eastgate Centre, Inverness. Our charity partner for 2023 was the Crocus Group, who provide bereavement support for children and young people aged 5 - 18 across the Highlands. If you'd like to read more about their work, click here to read their leaflet. We were delighted to present representatives from Crocus with their half of the proceeds from the day.

Finally we have performed our Centenary concert, delayed three and a half years by the pandemic. You have given us lots of positive feedback on The Creation by Joseph Haydn. Our soloists and orchestra were enjoyed by all; it was great for the choir to be accompanied by an orchestra once more. Another positive was the use of a new venue for us, the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness. Thanks to all who came along to listen to the end result of many people's hard work, and of course to all who participated and made it possible. Here's to the next one! Here are a few images captured during our rehearsal. |
