An afternoon performance of rich, moody choral music in the gorgeous, airy ambience of Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds.
The concert repertoire spans six centuries of choral music, with styles ranging from a set of intensely nostalgic part songs by Johannes Brahms to modern prayer settings by Knut Nystedt. The programme also includes pieces by Imogen Holst, Benjamin Britten and Galina Grigorjeva.

The Red Violin festival takes place in Leeds 14-19 October, celebrating the violin in different guises throughout
the city. It was founded by violinist extraordinaire Madeleine Mitchell who has performed in no less than 50 countries. The idea to stage it in Leeds came from the former Chairman of Opera North who heard Madeleine play in Leeds five years ago and said "let’s do the festival here".
Join Yorkshire Wind Orchestra at the Slunglow Warehouse, Holbeck for a family friendly hour of Halloween inspired musical fun.
