Artist info
Love Music Community Choir | Love Music Junior Choir | Stephen Deazley | Sally Jaquet | Dave Milligan
Love Music Community Choir is accessible, fun and adventurous, with an eclectic and exciting musical programme, rehearsing both in person at the Usher Hall and online for singers taking part at home. The choir is directed by renowned composer and educationalist, Love Music artistic director Stephen Deazley.
Love Music Junior Choir is a big, inclusive choir for 8-12 year olds from across the city. It continues to grow from strength to strength, with 100 children meeting on Mondays to have fun singing music in different styles and languages. The choir is led by Clare Bauld and Sally Jaquet.
Both our choirs enjoy the wonderful accompaniment of genre-defying pianist Dave Milligan.
We couldn’t run our choirs without the fantastic Usher Hall team – a huge thank you for everything they do to support increased access to this fantastic space, and to the City of Edinburgh Council for our partnership.
