ICS is an SATB Choir, with approximately 30 members. It is a charity registered in Scotland. Founded in 1998 by John Hearne, our first Director of Music, Moira Hunter took over in 2005, with a year’s input from Paul Tierney during Moira’s absence, and Gordon Jack, who has now stepped down, has been with us since January 2019. We like to sing an eclectic selection from the classical and contemporary choral repertoire, everything from Madrigals to Vaudeville, Mozart to Jenkins, and more. We put on a Christmas and Summer Concert each year and we enjoy performing occasionally for Care and Retirement homes, and in Charity fundraising events. We sang via Zoom throughout Lockdown, with performances replaced by Zoom sing-throughs and a couple of Zoom recordings.
The duties of the director of music are as usual for an amateur local choir, and include conducting weekly rehearsals during school terms, devising programmes of music, arranging for provision of accompanists/soloists as agreed with the Committee. We meet on Wednesday nights 7.30 - 9.30 pm during school terms, in the West Church Hall, Inverurie, AB51 3SA . A negotiable fee is payable per rehearsal. The new term starts Wednesday 31 August 2022.
