The Lanark & Carluke Choral Union was founded around 1972.
Apart from performing the major oratorios and cantatas of baroque, romantic and 20th century composers, we have included works by Poulenc, Rutter and Karl Jenkins, and we very much enjoy singing lighter and more popular music in social settings, such as American cabaret style concerts and Scots Nights.
Our members come from Lanark, Carluke, Dalserf, Kirkmuirhill and further afield from across North and South Lanarkshire.
Today, you chould say we are simply for people who love to sing, and for audiences who love to listen to us singing!
We are very much a community choir and are looking at new ways in which we can become more relevant and integrated. We want to encourage the future local singers to get involved and support our youngsters by offering opportunities to perform with us.
If you have any ideas how we can achieve this then don’t delay, and use the contact page to get in touch!
