Leeds Summer Choir 2024

This choir was formed to offer singers the opportunity to form a summer choir in Leeds to cater for those weeks when choral societies close for the summer or for people who just wanted a short-term choir to join.

The rehearsal dates are every Wednesday evening from 24th July to 28th August at Headingley St Columba United Reform Church (which is easily accessible by bus out of Leeds and has plenty of free car parking) culminating in an afternoon charity concert on 31st August in support of St Columba's charity of choice, Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice. The Hospice is in the heart of Headingley and provides expert palliative care at a time when people need this the most. They support people living with a life-limiting condition, and also help their loved ones and family so we will be doing our utmost to raise a great amount for them (last year the choir raised over £400 for Take Heart in Leeds!). 

Singers need to be able to attend at least 3 out of the 6 rehearsals and, of course, a short rehearsal before the concert and the concert itself.

The cost of a singer ticket includes music for the season which will be Handel, Mozart and Rheinberger.

The ability to be able to sight-read or have some experience of choral singing would be an advantage to get the most out of the experience.

Places are limited. We reserve the right to change the music based on the balance of singers attending.
