About

Leicestershire Chorale is the region’s leading chamber choir. Numbering around 40 we regularly perform in some of the East Midlands most prestigious venues.

Leicestershire Chorale has a long history. In our 40thAnniversary Season (2017-18) we started the celebrations with a first-rate performance of Verdi’s great Requiem in De Montfort Hall with the Bardi Orchestra.

Leicestershire Chorale regularly performs large-scale works, and have performed Handel’s Messiah, Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius, Verdi’s Requiem, and Britten’s War Requiem with the local Bardi Orchestra. These large scale concerts are interspersed with smaller concerts in the best of our local churches and cathedrals.

In June 2018 we performed a concert of music titled ‘Music Divine; a programme of choral music to celebrate our love of singing’ in the fantastic acoustic of St Aidan’s, New Parks, with music ranging from Byrd’s Laudibus in Sanctis to Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music.

A major part of our work is in encouraging and training young musicians. We regularly support a team of choral scholars (up to 8 in a year) who receive expert training and experience of singing with a top choir, in addition to singing as soloists from time to time.
