News from ERCU

Reviews of the Gloria Concert
Herald Scotland 4* Review
"
Neither of these two very different works is an easy sing, but, under the energetic baton of the Edinburgh Royal Choral Union director Michael Bawtree, both were heard to best advantage in tightly disciplined performances."
The Quinntessential Review 5* Review
"Bruckner’s Mass in D Minor: Defying Expectations.
"The orchestra and chorus were superb, the wall of sound both impressive and uplifting, and the soloists absolutely on point."
Edinburgh Music Review
"All-in-all, top-quality collaborative music-making."

ERCU Trip to Brussels
In December 2025, ERCU travelled to Brussels to participate in a joint concert with Brussels Choral Society. The trip was greatly enjoyed by everyone and the concert a resounding success. Our tenor, John Thompson, has written a short report for us which you can download here. It includes a few photographs taken by him.
