On 17th May 2026 Cunninghame Choir will be holding a concert of contempory music themed around colours. We will be performing the Mass in Blue by Will Todd and shorter familiar pieces.
Project Description
Will Todd's Mass in Blue is a dynamic jazz setting of the Latin Mass, featuring driving grooves and blues harmonies. The work includes provisions for short piano solos (notated or improvised) and showcases great moments of musical interplay between soloists and choir. It has become a staple of the choral repertory, reflecting the composer's love for jazz music and his experience as an improviser.

Cunninghame Choir is a friendly and enthusiastic non-audition amateur adult choir based in Beith, North Ayrshire in the West of Scotland. Established in 1978, we are a mixed-voice (4 parts) choir with willingness and enthusiasm. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but do reap the rewards for our efforts. Our musical repertoire is wide and varied and is not limited to classic and sacred works. Recent themes have included Scottish Folk, European, Gospel, Blues as well as classical choral spanning the centuries to new works and commissions. We look forward to learning new and interesting music, developing as a choir and widening our repertoire under the direction of our new Musical Director, Maciej Granat, with assistance from talented accompanist, Isobel Burnie.
We meet at Beith Community Centre on Wednesday evenings between August and May and we perform two concerts each year. New members are warmly welcomed and encouraged - have a look at our Join us page for more information.
Location: We rehearse and usually perform in Beith. Our members are a diverse group of people from Beith, the Garnock Valley and beyond.
