Celebrating the Edinburgh Kevock Choir's 50th anniversary
Conductor 2000- present - Graham Lovett
Conductor 1995 - 2000 - Norman Adam
Founder and conductor 1966-1995 - Alex Elrick MBE
50th Anniversary: the 2016 – 2017 season is the choir’s 50th. Events to celebrate this are being planned, and will include a tour to Ireland in October 2016.
Come and help us celebrate our Fiftieth Anniversary year at our Annual Concert in The Queen's Hall Saturday 13th May 2017
We are hoping that many former members will attend and will join us on stage for part of the concert, to sing some songs from our past repertoire.
It will be a wonderful celebration of the years of enjoyment which the choir members have had in learning and performing and the pleasure which our audiences have had in listening to us.
It would be great to see the Queen's Hall full for this special occasion.
