Chorus_608
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra Chorus evolved from a choir formed in 1843 to sing the first full performance of Handel's Messiahin Scotland in April 1844.

Now recognised as one of the most distinguished large symphonic choruses in Britain, its prime function is to perform with the RSNO during its Season and Prom series in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee. Timothy Dean has been RSNO Chorus Director since November 2006.

With a membership of over 200 singers it is able to tackle the largescale works from the choral repertoire but also performs a wide rangeof music from Scots songs to music of stage and screen.

Recordings with the RSNO include: Holst - The Planets - David Lloyd-Jones Naxos 8.555776
Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky - Neeme Järvi Chandos recordings - Chan 8584
Mahler - Symphony No 3 - Neeme Järvi Chandos recordings - Chan 9117/8

In addition to its commitment to the RSNO, the Chorus performs independently and has toured worldwide, most recently to Copenhagen,Hong Kong, Israel, Germany, Belfast and Australia.

Many members travel some distance to attend rehearsals, with a large contingent coming from Edinburgh. Please contact the Chorus Manager for more information.
