Support us by buying our book

Edinburgh Royal Choral Union 1982 - 2013
Into the new millenium: a time of change
This latest chapter in the history of the Edinburgh Royal Choral Union takes us into the 21st century and includes the celebration of its 150th anniversary in 2008. The aim is to explore beyond a basic overview of the years in question and get behind the scenes to look into what it takes for a large choir to function, including the highs and lows. However, emotion and true feeling for the music is never too far away, as is humour and the feeling of camaraderie within the choir.
 To purchase a copy of the history book please contact admin@ercu.org.uk
