THE SOUNDHOUSE CHOIR

The Soundhouse Choir began attracting singers in 2016 so 2026 marks its tenth anniversary. 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: 4 FEB TO 1 APR 2025
(18 FEB off!)

Soundhouse Choir celebrates TEN YEARS!

The first of our Big Birthday Events will be a MAP Benefit at Summerhall with the legendary Loveboat Big Band on 27 June. Be sure to sign up to be part of the action as we begin working on repertoire for that special concert this term.

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.

Formed in 2016, this wonderful 100-strong choir is renowned for original and adventurous collaborations in legendary venues. Artists include Justin Currie, Blazin' Fiddles, Karine Polwart, Rachel Sermanni and, most recently, Blue Rose Code. 

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

No audition. No previous singing, reading 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!
