A performance of Handel's Messiah at Christmas in 1968 led to the formation of the choir, and it was from this very modest beginning that Bearsden Choir grew in stature to take its place as one of Scotland's foremost choirs. Currently the choir has a membership of over 100.
Season 2008/9 was its 40th Anniversary Year which was to prove exciting on many levels as the choir enjoyed its first season with Director of Music, Frikki Walker. He led it through the celebrations with a memorable programme which included Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 and on into season 2009/10 which culminated in a spine-chilling performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in City Halls in May 2010.
Under the leadership of Frikki Walker, the choir offers the chance to meet new musical challenges in tackling innovative and inspiring choral works, along with its commitment to the great traditional favourites. As a result, its members anticipate inspiring times ahead and relish the opportunity to take its audiences on more musical adventures.
