Come & Sing Mozart's Requiem

Saturday October 28th, 2023
​
The highly successful annual Soko Fund Come & Sing will take place again in 2023. By popular request, and after a gap of five years, Mozart’s famous Requiem will be the work once again, and Dr John Kitchen, Edinburgh City Organist, has generously agreed to return as Director, with Morley Whitehead at the organ as usual. There is a change of venue, however. Stockbridge Parish Church marks its 200th anniversary in 2023 and has invited the Soko Fund to add the Come & Sing to its 200th anniversary celebrations.

Originally known as St Bernard’s , this fine church in the classical style, was built in 1823 by the noted Edinburgh architect James Milne. In addition to being a parish church, with a fine acoustic and a striking interior decorated by war memorial murals, Stockbridge St Bernard’s has long served as a valuable venue for musical events. We look forward to welcoming singers old and new most welcome.

Fundraising Success at Cadenza Concert  

Picture


​
​

The Soko Fund was delighted to be  chosen by Cadenza, one of Scotland's most acclaimed choirs, as the 'good cause' for its spring concert on June 3rd at Inverleith-St Serf's Church, Goldenacre in Edinburgh.

Under its new Director, Timothy Coleman, the choir delighted an audience of 150+ with a fine recital of choral music in a wide variety of styles, and a splendid total of £1500 was raised for the Soko Fund. We also had the opportunity to make a brief presentation about the work of the Fund, which drew a number of interested individuals.

Many thanks to the Director, Choir and hospitality team at Inverleith-St Serf's.
