The Chamber Choir Ivan Filipovic (KZIF) is a highly acclaimed choral ensemble, based in Zagreb though its members hail from across Croatia. Inspired by a commitment to excellence, they perform a variety of choral literature ranging from Renaissance to Contemporary music, and have taken their music all over the world including singing at The United Nations.

The BIG Sing is a non-audition choir for children aged 7 - 18 living in the Broomhouse area of Edinburgh. Part of The BIG Project, a youth and children's charity, the choir aims to help children learn, achieve, have fun, and feel good about themselves, while broadening their horizons and raising their aspirations through performance experiences. You may have already heard them performing Flower Of Scotland in the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony! The choir's repertoire includes uplifting folk, world, and pop songs.
