The Choir have played at various functions over the years and these have included:

• a concert at Straiton Parish Church
• a regular stint at the Hospice Christmas Fair at the Citadel
• welcoming the Ayr Hospital Volunteers at their ‘Thank you’  evening
• a session of Christmas carol playing at Asda in Ayr in aid of SeAscape.
• The Holy Fair at Mauchline
• Maclaurin Galleries set within the grounds of Rozelle Park.
• Garden Party at Brig o’Doon House Hotel in aid of The Ayrshire Hospice

We have also played at the Burns an ‘a’ that Festival on a few occasions, and one of the concerts, at Dean Castle, was an entire programme of the music of Derick Kirkwood, our composer from Mauchline.

We have also played at the wedding of a former member, Morag McMurray at the Lochside House Hotel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few years ago when Cumnock and Doon Valley had a very successful twinning arrangement with Joue-les-Tours, and a number of visits, covering a wide range of groups in the community, were organised over the years. An interesting visit from Joue was when their saxophone quartet played in Cumnock at a number of venues. A reciprocal visit by the Ayrshire Clarinet Choir was held the following year. They played throughout Joue, and their visit culminated in a concert to well over 1,000 people at a special 20th anniversary ceremony to celebrate Joue's twinning with one of their other twin towns, Hechingen in Germany.
