Last Lochranza Choir concert before the big join-up

On Sunday November 17th at 7.30 pm, the Lochranza Choir gives its final performance as an individual group. After Christmas, it will amalgamate with the Rowan Singers, based in Lamlash, to form an all-island choir, similar to the old-established Arran Chorus that many people took part in. The pooling of all available voices was found in a couple of experimental practices to work very well, giving more strength to the male voices and providing an exhilarating ‘gutsiness’ to the whole ensemble. However, that lies in the future. The November concert promises to be a highly enjoyable one, with a mixture of composers and styles that should have something for everyone. As ever, the matchless team of Douglas and Diana Hamilton as accompanist and conductor, works its joint magic to produce singing that is always good to listen to and has moments of sheer inspiration. Don’t miss the final appearance of this deservedly well-loved choir! Come early to be sure of a seat – Lochranza Hall is likely to be very full. You may even get a chance to help the Saints along as they Go Marching In.
