Our name reflects our roots in the telephony and technology sectors as we originally formed as a workplace choir in BT’s Edinburgh offices. We’ve since grown and attracted members from outside of our workplace. Led by Aly Skidmore, our vision from the outset was to build a dynamic performance choir for amateur singers. Under Aly’s musical direction, the choir has developed rapidly and grown significantly in both quality and reputation, receiving wide acclaim. The RingTones have been booked for a wide mix of charity, showcase and corporate events such as the Scottish Rugby Union’s Annual Awards 2015, Eden Festival 2015, the BT Scotland Annual General Meeting, the Scottish Parliament, Sports Relief, the Great Scot Awards 2014. We have also staged our own fundraising performances at venues such as Waverley Train Station, John Lewis Edinburgh and Our Dynamic Earth. The choir has also organized their own, independent fundraising concerts a...    less

Named after Lady Margaret Beaufort who founded St John’s College, Cambridge, the choir cultivated a powerful and expressive sound combined with a clear, committed delivery of text. The membership comprises singers from across the UK embarking upon the early stages of their careers. Amongst its seminal projects were performances of James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words From The Cross and Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil. It is also hugely passionate about investing in the future of choral music and has regularly commissioned new works from young composers such as Piers Kennedy (April & Nunc Dimittis) and Owain Park (For The Fallen). In 2018, The Beaufort Singers and Joseph Wicks founded the Boxgrove Choral Festival which gave the choir its new home. After its enforced cancellation last year, 2021 saw the Festival’s return and its presentation online for the first time.  less

Under the leadership of Musical Director and soprano, Michelle Nova, the singers perform an eclectic repertoire of classical, sacred, operatic and modern choral music. In recent years, the choir has championed contemporary composers writing specifically for the female voice, placing these pieces alongside classics by the likes of Fauré, Vivaldi, Mozart and Holst. The choir's unique sound is characterised by its vibrancy and fullness, a result of the 'Bel Canto' singing technique in which all the singers are trained. New for 2026, the choir is inviting experienced singers to join them - especially women with an alto or lower soprano range. Visit their website to find out more about the audition process. This is an ambitious choir that combines a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with high standards: a chance to make a real contribution.  less
