Founded in 1967 and made up of students, staff, alumni and associates of the University of Edinburgh, the ensemble is internationally recognised for its refined interpretations of Renaissance a cappella choral music and for bringing historically informed performances to audiences across Europe and beyond.
Under the direction of David Coney, the choir continues a long tradition of exploring the rich repertoire of the Renaissance while also highlighting its influence on later composers.

Director
David Coney became the director of the Edinburgh University Renaissance Singers in 2023.
David is an Edinburgh-based musician and academic of musical and religious history. He is currently a PhD student at Edinburgh University, exploring the rich yet mostly uncharted history of the Scottish Chapel Royal from 1567-1641. As an undergraduate he studied at Durham University, before taking a Master’s in Choral Studies at Cambridge University, working primarily with Sarah MacDonald (Selwyn College). In addition to his academic work, he is a Lay Clerk at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, singing for daily Choral Evensong and weekly Sunday Eucharist.
