A free Pop and Rock Choir Concert will bring two German choirs to Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Kirk on Monday, 29 June 2026, with booking required for admission.
The concert takes place at Greyfriars Kirk, Greyfriars Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2QQ, in the Grassmarket area. The event listing confirms free admission, but does not list a start time, so anyone planning to attend should check booking details before setting out.
The evening is aimed at the general public, especially listeners drawn to contemporary choral music, pop arrangements, ballads, gospel and vocal performances built around harmony rather than a conventional band format.
Two German choirs share the Greyfriars Kirk stage
Wicked Pitch and Vocal Pur will perform together in a joint concert shaped around contemporary choral music. Both choirs are from Gießen-Wißmar in Germany, and the Edinburgh event is framed as a cross-border collaboration built on modern vocal arrangements.
The source listing describes Wicked Pitch as a choir known for bold mash-ups and fresh versions of familiar songs. Vocal Pur brings together singers of different ages, with a repertoire that spans pop, ballads and gospel.
Together, the two groups are expected to present a programme focused on energy, connection and inventive harmonies. For Edinburgh audiences, the draw is not just the pop and rock label, but the chance to hear contemporary choir work brought into one of the city’s best-known kirk settings.
What listeners can expect from the programme
The event is billed as an evening of contemporary choral music rather than a single-genre concert. The source highlights pop, ballads and gospel as part of Vocal Pur’s range, while Wicked Pitch’s reputation is linked to mash-ups and new takes on familiar songs.
That points to a concert for people who enjoy vocal reinterpretation: recognisable musical styles reshaped through choir arrangements, layered voices and unexpected harmonies. The listing does not provide a full set list, so the safest expectation is a broad modern choral programme rather than a named sequence of songs.
Greyfriars Kirk gives the event a central Edinburgh setting, close to the Grassmarket area. The venue address listed for the concert is Greyfriars Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2QQ.
