Over the years, several musical and theatrical groups have used St Michael’s for rehearsals and performances.
Theatre & Music
Showcase
Showcase is a non-professional musical theatre company who raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support by putting on a series of concerts throughout the year. We should add that Showcase use St Michael’s halls for rehearsals only – the main venue for their shows is Church Hill Theatre in Morningside. Showcase rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings, 7 to 9:30 pm.
Springwell Golden Voices (now at Craiglockhart Parish Church)
Springwell Golden Voices are a community choir for older people based in west-central Edinburgh. The choir is open to everyone, whether they are experienced singers or novices, and the repertoire covers everything from Scots songs to light classics and everything in between. Equally important is the social side – fun, friendship and a lively chat in the tea break are all part of the success the choir has enjoyed over the years.
Most of their concerts are given by invitation to church groups and other organisations. They also give a regular Christmas concert each year which is open to the public, and occasionally present other public concerts on special occasions. Springwell Golden Voices recently gave a 25-year anniversary concert at St Michael’s, see photos.
Please note, since the lifting of coronavirus restrictions, Springwell Golden Voices, have found an alternative venue for their rehearsals and performances.
