“What a wonderful concert.My friend and I loved it and felt so

glad to be there, 3 years since the last one! It was a joyful

programme and a very moving one too. We had lumps

in our throats throughout. Please pass on

our congratulation to everyone concerned.”

This January 

Good News!
We are now able to meet again on a regular basis back in our base at the Institute in Moniaive. It’s not quite like the olden days where we could be close together but at least we are back!
We are preparing to sing to welcome Storm when she comes to Dumfries on October 16th – more of that later.

Cairn Chorus is a community performance choir based in Moniaive, Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway. Founded in 2007 the intention was to encourage the joy of singing as an inclusive community activity.

The choir is now 14 years old and our current musical director, Kate Howard, leads us through fantastic international repertoires and constantly presents us with ambitious new challenges.   

Choir members hail from all corners of Dumfries and Galloway and learn the songs by ear and/or sheet music. We strive to perform without the use of files as we believe that by learning the material we can engage more effectively with the audience and thus give a more lively performance.
