The Calton Consort was founded in 2001 by 12 friends, who were also singers, for a concert in aid of a church roof appeal. The choir now comprises around 30 singers directed by Jason Orringe and we typically perform three concerts a year in and around Edinburgh. In 2004 we performed in the Fringe for the first time and toured to Iona in July 2005. We perform a varied repertoire, often a cappella, combining early music with 20th century pieces and with an emphasis on less frequently-performed works.
