Description

The Glasgow Phoenix Choir is delighted to be performing a concert in Helensburgh Parish Church. The Glasgow Phoenix Choir rose out of the ashes of the world-famous Glasgow Orpheus Choir and this year celebrates 122 years of choral excellence ? 72 years as the Glasgow Phoenix Choir and 50 years as the Glasgow Orpheus Choir. The choir is directed by our conductor, Cameron Murdoch. Cameron joined us in 1987 as Accompanist and Depute Conductor and is an Honours graduate in music from the University of Glasgow who also studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He regularly plays harpsichord and piano with various musical ensembles and performs throughout the British Isles. Cameron is also Organist and Choir Master of St. John?s Renfield Church in Glasgow?s West End. Many of the pieces in the current Phoenix repertoire were arranged by Cameron.

The Glasgow Phoenix Choir performs over 20 concerts per year and each involves a range of music from choral standards to new music and, in addition, we feature many delightful solo performances by choir members.

Helensburgh & Lomond Foodbank is an independent foodbank run entirely by volunteers.
All of the has been donated by the local community and will be shared with those in need within the local community. The foodbank issues numerous bags of food every week to individuals and families experiencing food poverty in the Helensburgh & Lomond Area. Anyone who finds themselves in a crisis, without food or money to buy food, is welcome to drop-in at any of our Foodbank sessions, there is no need to obtain a referral from any other agency.

SPONSORSHIP: The choir and concert organisers are grateful to May Storrie for financial support of this concert.
