\"alistair-digges\"In 2005-6 a young Tenor, Alistair Digges, gave a number of highly acclaimed solo performances (including Haydn\u2019s Creation and Handel\u2019s Israel in Egypt) with The Edinburgh Singers. Now, 10 years later, he has become its Musical Director.<\/p>\n

Alistair said \u201cI am excited to be working with one of Edinburgh\u2019s finest choirs and looking forward to exploring a vast repertoire and continuing the Singers\u2019 mission of excellence in performance\u201d.<\/p>\n

An early test of this will come on Saturday, 18th April at St Cuthbert\u2019s at the West End of Princes Street. \u201cMade in America\u201d will be a celebration of choral music from the USA, ranging from inspirational sacred works by Copland, Lauridsen and Whitacre, to familiar favourites like \u2018Shenandoah’ and ‘Ol\u2019 Man River\u2019, and featuring the celebrated American baritone, Whitaker Mills.<\/p>\n

Alistair is looking to expand the numbers as well as the repertoire of the Choir: \u201cAnyone interested in having a lot of fun while honing their singing skills in a welcoming and energetic environment, do please get in touch via our website, tell us your voice part and a bit about your singing history and we\u2019ll contact you to arrange an audition!\u201d<\/p>\n
