If your
musical taste can accommodate music from Guerrero to Gershwin, by way of Gibbons
and Gorecki, then The Leeds Guild of Singers is for you!
This enterprising choir of about
25 members presents about ten concerts each season, singing mostly unaccompanied
music in venues across Yorkshire, and sometimes beyond. Rehearsals in Leeds University
Music Department on Tuesday evenings may be informal and convivial - but the
choir seeks to maintain the highest standards.
We also like to explore adventurous repertoire, which has included in recent
seasons programmes of Russian sacred music, French music from 14th to 20th centuries,
Spanish and Portuguese polyphony from the Golden Age, as well as English music
by Byrd, Tallis, Tomkins and Weelkes to works by Stanford, Howells, Vaughan Williams
and Britten, by John Tavener and Gabriel Jackson, several first performances
and lighter music.
