Have you ever wanted to sing the Requiems by Gabriel Fauré or Sir John Rutter?

Here's your perfect chance to do so in a friendly environment and in the company of lots of other singers of all ages and ability!

St Peter's Singers will host the event and lead the singing in the glorious setting of Leeds Minster. It will be directed by the brilliant Alexander Woodrow, with Shaun Turnbull on the keys of the Minster's famous Harrison & Harrison organ.

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.
