Music plays a very important part in the life of Colinton Parish Church.
All the music groups in Colinton enjoy working together and we have a strong tradition of joint activities as we celebrate events through music in the Church.
We have three main music groups:
Young Voices our choir for young people aged Primary 4 upwards.
The Praise Band leads worship at our 0930 Service on a Sunday Morning.
The Choir sings an introit and an anthem each Sunday at the second service.
Our current church organ was part funded by the philantropist Andrew Carnegie just after the present building was opened in 1908. It was rebuilt in 1976 and is a two manual instrument with 34 speaking stops and a total of some 1547 pipes. At present the organ is undergoing a full refurbishment. We are grateful to George Watson's College for the loan of their two-manual Wyvern Sonata digital organ which provides the accompaniment during morning worship in 2015.
