Tonight the members of Love Music Community Choir, the UK’s largest community choir, invite you to their Autumn Concert, a celebration of the work they’ve done and the music they’ve made together this term (the end of the choir’s third year). In the magnificent Usher Hall the choir will entertain you with a range of styles, from The Kinks to Zadok the Priest – as you’ve never heard them before! They’ll also be celebrating their links with Luminate, Scotland’s creative ageing festival, and letting you know about Instant Choir, a project they’ve been running in a local care home. The concert is supported by City of Edinburgh Council.
