Leicestershire ChoraleLeicestershire Chorale is well established as one of the leading chamber choirs in the East Midlands. Its connections with education have remained strong and the project YouthFindAVoice is maintained on an annual basis, giving hundreds of Leicestershire teenagers the chance to sing in performances of large-scale works at De Montfort Hall.

Supported by donations from the Friends of Leicestershire Chorale, performances of challenging works such as Les Noces by Stravinsky, Rachmaninov's Vespers and Mendelssohn's eight-voice Te Deum have cemented Leicestershire Chorale's reputation in the area. Regular partnerships have also been established with professional orchestras such as the Leicestershire Camerata, The Bardi, The Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra and the period ensemble Saraband Consort.

"Another show in which the brilliant Chorale displayed its versatility, sheer musicality and ability to present an excellent concert around a theme."

"A wonderfully reflective selection of music for Passiontide, which took the mind far away form the cares of this world ... the performances created an intense peacefulness."
