Glasgow Orpheus Choir was founded in 1901 by a seventeen year old Hugh Robertson who conducted it for 50 years and disbanded it in 1951.
Some of the choir decided to carry on singing and they founded the Glasgow Pheonix Choir which continues the Orpheus tradition of receiving international acclaim. A few years ago they sang in Dunkeld Cathedral and it was an experience I'll never forget.
