The Choir of St Mary’s was founded in 1879 to provide choral music for the services at Edinburgh’s new St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, with its own choir school. The tradition of singing regular weekday and Sunday services in the Cathedral continues, uniquely in Scotland. In 1978 the Cathedral allowed girls to join boys as choristers.
In addition to singing services at St Mary’s, the choir is known for its recording work, concerts, and broadcasts. Recent recordings have included single-composer discs from Tudor England (Taverner, Sheppard and Mundy respectively), Bruckner (a Gramophone Recommended Recording), contemporary composer Gabriel Jackson, Stravinsky with instrumentalists from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and Kenneth Leighton, celebrating the ninetieth anniversary of the birth of a former Edinburgh Professor of Music and receiving 5* from BBC Music Magazine. Three of the discs were Editor’s Choice in Gramophone Magazine. The choir will be recording again with Delphian Records in May 2023.
