Charms and Chants is a community choir based in Edinburgh,
open to all who loves to sing — no auditions, no experience needed. We sing music from films, folk traditions, contemporary choral pieces, and a few surprises too.
We’re also open to collaborations and performances — feel free to get in touch if you’d like to invite us to sing at your event.
We usually perform with piano or a cappella and can adjust our set to suit your event.

What we sing
We love variety — our recent concerts have included:
- Vois sur ton chemin from Les Choristes
- City of Stars from La La Land
- The Lord is My Shepherd by Howard Goodall
- For The Beauty of The Earth by John Rutter
Our music is chosen with care — some pieces soft and reflective, others vibrant and energetic — always with space for storytelling and connection.
