The City of Leicester Singers
Where and When?
Cost?
Audition?
We rehearse on Monday evenings from 7.15pm to 9.15pm at Christchurch, Clarendon Park Road, Leicester LE2 3AH
The choral year is from September to June and the annual subscription for 2021/22 for new members is £120, or £125 if paid in two instalments of £62.50, due September and January.
For returning members (those who were members in the January to March 2020 period), a £30 credit is available, in compensation for the curtailment of rehearsals in 2020. The rate is therefore £90, or £32.50 and £62.50 if paid in two instalments.
We do not audition. All we ask is a pleasing singing voice, a good ear for music and enthusiasm and a willingness to try. A reasonable understanding of music notation is desirable.
From the conductor...
Let me ask you a question,
What’s calming, therapeutic, imparts a sense of personal and communal well-being, improves mood, provides enjoyment and uniquely combines the physical, the mental, the spiritual and the artistic?
Singing in a choir.
In The City of Leicester Singers, an SATB choir with a strong social commitment, we aim to provide all of the above.
Our repertoire is varied – composers of different nationalities, music sacred and secular, accompanied and unaccompanied, with a variety of languages and a resolve to perform works of living composers. A willingness to learn and give things a try is at least as important as vocal ability. It obviously helps to be able to read music to some degree, but this is not essential.
Come and give us a try!
We will arrange for someone from your section – Bass, Tenor, Alto, or Soprano – to greet you and help you settle.
New members are invited to come for a rehearsal for four weeks before deciding to join.
If you would like to join us, either turn up on a rehearsal night, ask David on 0116 2708577 or leave your personal details on our Contact page
