Latest News: The Courier reviews Chansons’ Autumn concert held in November
Chansons is a mixed voice choir based in Perth, Scotland. First established in 1979, the choir has built up a reputation for high quality performance of a very wide repertoire. We are a recognised Scottish Charity and are members of Making Music.
Members are drawn from Perthshire, Fife and Angus -
For major works – of which we normally perform two or three per year, all of these voices will be utilised. When required a smaller chamber choir can also be provided. We are equally at home in an intimate or a grand setting, from drawing room to stage.
Our music ranges from classical to folk, opera to musicals, and we will perform a cappella, or accompanied by piano, organ or orchestra as the occasion demands. We can also provide a wedding choir.
Chansons has worked with many talented musicians over the years, and has taken part in the Perth Festival of the Arts. On occasion we can support other charitable bodies through fundraising concerts, as we have most recently for the Marie Curie Cancer Care fund and Maggie’s Centre Dundee. We have performed at a wide variety of venues throughout Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and the Continent.

Our Musical Director is Howard Duthie, who took over in 2002 from the choir’s founder, Henry Neil MBE.
