Banchory Singers

A new season and a new musical director

Everything changes and nothing lasts forever. Having bid a fond farewell to Tara Leiper our MD for 30 years, Banchory Singers are now looking forward to a new chapter in the choir’s 40-year history.

We are very pleased to have secured the services of Irene Watt as our new musical director. Irene takes up the baton as our new season begins on 28th August.  

Irene is a talented musician and a very experienced choir leader. She is already hard at work preparing a repertoire for our 2024-25 season.  

Irene said,

“I love working with voices, creating beautiful harmonies and bringing out the best from those voices. Even if you have never tried harmony singing before, I would encourage you to come along. I can promise you fun sessions with a wide variety of songs to suit everybody.” 

The choir is keenly anticipating this new chapter, ready to relish the joy of singing and will extend a warm welcome to new members. 

Anyone interested in joining should come along to our first Wednesday evening rehearsal at 7pm (for 7.15pm) on Wednesday 28th August 2024 in the West Church, Banchory High Street.
