Glasgow Phoenix Choir in concert

Event information

Entry to the concert is FREE for children accompanied by an adult. The Glasgow Phoenix Choir is delighted to be performing a concert once again in Cambuslang Church. We are now performing our 75th season of choral excellence. Conductor and Musical Director, Cameron Murdoch joined us in 1987 as Accompanist and Depute Conductor, taking over as conductor in 2019. Cameron is also organist and Choir Master of St. John’s Renfield Church in Glasgow’s West End and is accompanist to the excellent Glasgow CREATE Choirs. Many of the pieces in the current Phoenix repertoire were arranged by Cameron.
The Glasgow Phoenix Choir performs many concerts every year, the majority of which raise money for charity and each involves a range of music from choral standards to new music and, in addition, features many delightful solo performances from choir members.
Matthew McIlree, our regular accompanist, will perform with us at this concert. He has been a multiple prize winner at both the Glasgow and Inverclyde music festivals, including twice winning the Glasgow Society of Organists' Trophy at the Glasgow open organ class; and three times winning the top piano award, as well the 2016 overall prize, in Inverclyde. He is now undertaking PhD studies and in his 'spare time' works as a freelance wedding musician and accompanist. Matthew can also be heard playing the organ as part of the daily recital programme at Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
The organisers of today’s concert would be delighted to welcome you for refreshments in the church hall after the concert.
