A free Pop and Rock Choir Concert comes to Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh on 29 June 2026, bringing together two German choirs for an evening of contemporary vocal music.
The concert is at Greyfriars Kirk, Greyfriars Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2QQ. Admission is free, but booking is required. The source listing does not state a start time, so anyone planning to attend should check their booking details before travelling.
This is a public concert for listeners who enjoy modern choral arrangements, pop, ballads and gospel, as well as anyone curious about an international choir collaboration in one of Edinburgh’s best-known city-centre venues.
German choirs bring modern vocal music to Greyfriars Kirk
The programme features Wicked Pitch and Vocal Pur, two choirs from Gießen-Wißmar in Germany. Both groups are presented in the event listing as choirs with reputations for energetic performances, inventive arrangements and contemporary vocal music.
Wicked Pitch is described as a choir known for bold mash-ups and fresh versions of familiar songs. Vocal Pur brings together singers of different ages through a repertoire that spans pop, ballads and gospel.
Together, the two ensembles are billed as offering contemporary choral music built around modern sounds, unexpected harmonies and shared musical connection. For Edinburgh audiences, the draw is not only the song list but the sound of two visiting choirs working across styles that are often heard on stage, radio and in community singing spaces rather than in a traditional choral format.
What the audience can expect from the concert
The source describes the concert as an evening of energy, creativity and connection. The focus is contemporary choral music, with the two choirs combining pop-influenced arrangements, ballads and gospel elements.
That makes the event a fit for people who may not usually seek out formal choral concerts but enjoy vocal performance, harmony-led arrangements or familiar songs reworked for groups of singers. It also gives regular concertgoers a chance to hear visiting German choirs in a central Edinburgh setting.
