“Am I allowed to say brilliant? The EUMS was stunningly good. I’m not sure that I have ever heard a choir cut and start as if the power had gone off and then on again.”
We are proud of the quality of our performances. Since the society’s creation in 1867, our concerts have been performed to an incredibly high standard and have received critical acclaim alongside warm support from our audiences.
We perform six main concerts a year, with a Winter concert series, a Spring concert series and a Summer concert. Each year one of our concerts also includes a joint collaboration between the Chorus and one of either Sinfonia or the Symphony Orchestra, alternating year-on-year. Concerts usually take place in the same venues every year (see our Find Us Performing section), and are easily accessible from the centre of Edinburgh.
Tickets can be bought on the door, but we sell tickets in advance online and at rehearsals. Advance single or group bookings can be made by going to our TicketSource minisite here. Prices are very reasonable, and we offer further concessions to students and under-16s. Our concerts always start at 7.30pm with doors usually opening at 7pm.
We know that sometimes there is a lot to think about when attending a classical concert, especially if it is your first, so we have answered a few frequently asked questions about our performances. Find them here.
