Calgary Burns Club Singers 

The Singers, who are all members of the Calgary Burns Club, started in 1994 to provide entertainment to Club members at their regular meetings.   The initial focus was to sing the songs of Robert Burns and other traditional songs of Scotland, and while that focus remains, the singers also now sing a variety of other types of song which will entertain our listeners.    In addition to our Club functions, the singers also provide entertainment at seniors’ residences, health care facilities, and other varied functions and venues in Calgary and the surrounding area.   The highlight of the group was participation in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2009, the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns.  To date, the group has put out 7 CD’s, details of which are available on the Calgary Burns Club website, and every Saturday morning, practice sessions are held at the Danish Canadian Club.   The group also had a very successful trip to Scotland in 2022 where our participation in the Kirkcudbright Tattoo and six other concert venues in Glasgow, Ayrshire and Dumfries were very warmly received.

We sing to backing music which is played and recorded by our musician and singer Henry Cairney.   

This concert is the tenth in a series of twelve Choral Concerts during 2024 that is generously sponsored by:
