David Cameron, who led the Chalmers Church choir for forty-four years, is renowned for his dedication and contribution to choral music. His tenure saw the production of hundreds of concerts, many accompanied by an orchestra, including notable performances on Good Friday. The repertoire featured works such as the Brahms, Mozart, Faure, Durufle, Widor, Daley, and Rutter Requiems, as well as Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s St. Matthew and St. John Passions. This reunion celebrates his legacy and the enduring friendships formed through music.
