The Scottish Chamber Orchestra Chorus, under the direction of Gregory Batsleer, has built a reputation as one of Scotland’s most vibrant and versatile choirs, and is widely regarded as one of the finest orchestral choruses in the UK.

Members enjoy the unique opportunity of performing with one of the world’s leading chamber orchestras, working with international conductors including Maxim Emelyanychev, Andrew Manze, Harry Christophers, Richard Egarr, Václav Luks and Sir James MacMillan.

The Chorus appears regularly with the Orchestra in Scotland’s major cities. They have given the premiere performances of several SCO commissions for choir and orchestra.

The SCO Chorus also performs a cappella, both digitally and live, in music ranging from Tallis and Purcell to new works by Anna Clyne and Jay Capperauld. In addition to appearances in the SCO's Summer Tour, the Chorus gives annual Christmas concerts at Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Kirk, which have established themselves as a Season highlight. Other notable out-of-Season appearances have included critically-acclaimed performances with the SCO at the BBC Proms and Edinburgh International Festival.

The Chorus' Young Singers' Programme was established in 2015 to nurture and develop aspiring young singers. It is designed for young people with a high level of choral experience and ambitions to further their singing with a world-class ensemble.

The SCO Chorus Young Singers' Programme is generously supported by the Baird Educational Trust.
