Following the move in 1983 into the West End of Glasgow the Choir was renamed Glasgow Lyric Choir. ​ Under its present conductor, Julian Evans, the Choir sings a wide repertoire of choral music from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods and traditional Scots and Gaelic songs.

We regularly run events for family and friends such as our annual Associates' Night, quizzes and Burns' Suppers. ​ In 2009 the Choir was cho...    less
