Graham Taylor founded the City of Glasgow Chorus in 1983 as The New Glasgow Singers, a small group of passionate choral singers looking to take on some of the less well-known works in the choral repertoire . Since then, it has grown into an organisation that has around 100 members singing a wide range of musical genres but still with the core wish to seek out and perform the less familiar pieces. The Chorus has established itself as one of the biggest independent choral groups in the West of Scotland and a significant player in Scotland’s arts environment.
