A day of song sharing, networking and learning from each other, facilitated by Penny Stone and Stephen Deazley, produced for the emerging Scotland Sings network.
What could you do with a really amazing choir who will learn really fast? Come along and enjoying singing with your colleagues. You will be invited to bring your songs and warm-ups to share and try out. Something you’ve written, want to share, or want a quick recording of? The song leader choir can sing it! This will be a great opportunity to meet other song leaders and to pick up some ideas.
The idea for this FREE event came from consultation with you and your fellow song leaders, and this pilot will help inform how we can offer Gathering Days in other locations across Scotland.
Date: Sunday 26 October 2025
Time: 10am-4pm
Venue: St Bride’s Centre, 10 Orwell Terrace, Edinburgh EH11 2DZ
