More Information

Rock Choir, the world’s largest contemporary choir experience, is launching new locations in Scotland and are inviting potential new members to experience the joy, community and music that have made it a household name across the UK. Established in 2005 by award-winning musician and singer Caroline Redman Lusher MBE, Rock Choir has pioneered a contemporary choir experience that is musically accessible, inclusive and life-changing.

The new Rock Choir locations will be led by Scottish musician Chris Duke who will be the ninth Rock Choir Leader in the Scotland region. Rock Choir members from Scotland have had some amazing experiences and performance opportunities to look forward to, which new members joining will have the chance to participate in.

The Rock Choir experience offers people of all ages a fun and uplifting alternative to traditional classical or community choirs. There are no auditions and no requirement to read music – just the opportunity to sing feel-good pop, rock and contemporary chart hits, all carefully arranged and created by a superb team of Grammy award-winning producers, with bespoke arrangements exclusive to Rock Choir.

Members regularly take part in once-in-a-lifetime experiences locally, nationally and internationally, from performing at Wembley Stadium to Carnegie Hall in New York, and travelling to cities such as Berlin and countries including Greece and Spain. These opportunities complement weekly rehearsals, creating unforgettable experiences that bring together music, friendship and confidence.

Rock Choir Leader Chris Duke will lead Rock Choir in Dalkeith, Penicuik, Portobello and Tranent will ensure the choir’s ethos of fun, community and wellbeing helps members build confidence, reduce stress and connect them with others in a positive and uplifting environment. All Rock Choir Leaders are highly trained and passionate, guiding every rehearsal, ensuring all members feel supported and encouraged.

From performing at local community events and fundraising for charities, to appearing on national television and singing in iconic venues, festivals and high-profile events, Rock Choir is about far more than singing. It is about empowering confidence, building self-belief and offering opportunities that go above and beyond expectations.

Rock Choir Leader, Chris Duke comments:

Rock Choir is not just a choir, it can build friendships, increase confidence and self-esteem and it’s also brilliant for your mental health and wellbeing! We have lots of fun and don’t forget there is no need to audition or read music. Everyone is welcome!!
