THE SOUNDHOUSE CHOIR

The Soundhouse Choir began attracting singers in 2016. Right from the start, it has been a big community choir. All are welcome, everyone is heard, music is made, friendships are forged and much fun is had. The choir’s ripple effect of wellbeing and positive energy flows far beyond the rehearsal room.

The choir is led by Heather Macleod.

NEW TERM: 10 SEPT TO 19 NOV 2025

Since the start in 2016, Soundhouse Choir has been a big community choir and part of a much bigger picture. 

Choir leader Heather Macleod has over 30 years experience as a singer, teacher, arranger and producer. She instinctively takes the choir in directions beyond the mainstream, embracing exciting and ground-breaking opportunities and super-cool collaborations along the way. Her creativity, reputation and connections mean pretty much anything is possible.

This wonderful 100-strong choir is renowned for original and adventurous collaborations with musicians and artists including Justin Currie, Blazin' Fiddles, Karine Polwart and Rachel Sermanni. They have performed at many of Edinburgh's major venues. Their last performance of 2024 was to sing for Janey Godley as part of her funeral procession on the Royal Mile.

ALL are welcome to add their voice. Everyone is heard, music is made, friendships are forged and much fun is had. Soundhouse Choir’s ripple effect of wellbeing and positive energy flows far beyond the rehearsal room or the stage. 

No audition. No previous singing or musical experience is required. 

The experience is an exciting and creative joy ride; driven by dynamism, professionalism, good humour and musical inspiration. 

It has the heart of a community choir and the soul of a big band!
