Glasgow Phoenix Choir

Event information

The Glasgow Phoenix Choir is delighted to be performing a concert in Beith High Church in aid of Garnock Valley Disability Forum. The choir is, currently, performing its 75th season and undertakes a range of concerts every year, the majority of which raise money for charity. Each concert involves a range of music from choral standards to new music and, in addition, features many delightful solo performances from choir members.
Our conductor, 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.
Matthew McIlree, our regular accompanist graduated from the University of St. Andrews, where he completed both piano and organ scholarships alongside a degree in mathematics and computer science. He is now studying for his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Glasgow, alongside working freelance as a wedding musician and accompanist. Matthew can also be heard playing the organ as part of the daily recital programme at Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
