A Royal Audience for Strathallan Singers

Fourteen Strathallan pupils travelled to Royal Deeside last weekend to perform for Her Majesty the Queen at Crathie Kirk and also at the morning service at Braemar.

Our Choir, under the direction of Director of Music, Mr Richard Walmsley is the only one to receive an invitation to perform at Crathie Kirk and is made up of Strathallan Choral Scholars and members of the School’s Chamber Choir. Conducted by Assistant Director of Music at Strathallan, Mrs Carole Sim-Sayce the Choir performed three anthems by Handel, Howells and Rutter and also joined the regular congregation in their hymn singing.

This is the fourth time that Strathallan have been invited to sing at Crathie for The Royal Family and on this occasion Her Majesty the Queen was joined by the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay.
