The choir was joined at its Christmas concert in Lyle Kirk by Riverside Youth Band, led by Mark Good, and children’s choir Angel Voices, led by Michael Hepburn.
The programme included favourite seasonal choral works, carols for the audience to sing, as well as more recent songs.
The choir were excited to perform the beautiful arrangement of The Christ Child’s Lullaby from Sir James MacMillan’s Christmas Oratorio, and were delighted to welcome the composer himself to the performance.
Musical director Nicholas Wilks said: “The concert was a tremendous success, and our large and enthusiastic audience clearly loved it.
“I was especially impressed by the consistency of everything, and the palpable commitment behind everything we sang.”
