Celebrate the 2012 Olympic Games, with Rising Wave, part of Creative Scotland’s Summer of Song on 11 June. Rising Wave offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for choirs and singing groups in Aberdeen to take part in the city’s Olympic Torch Relay celebrations.

Aberdeen City Council in partnership with the sound festival will provide a unique experience for the people of Aberdeen to participate in the city’s Olympic festivities, uniting and connecting communities from a diverse range of backgrounds. Established and new choirs and singing groups will be brought together to sing a new commission from Edinburgh based composer, Kenneth Dempster.
