The choir performing at Leeds Town Hall, October 2007, accompanied by Peter Reasbeck (piano) and guest accompanist David Houlder (harmonium) |
The choir consists mainly of Methodists from churches in the Leeds District, but membership is open to anyone who wishes to join, and new members will be welcome.Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays, 7.15 to 9.30 pm, at Oxford Place Methodist Church (click here for map). This is a summer-only choir, meeting between June and September. All voices and ages are welcome. There are no auditions, and there's no need to memorise the music as we sing from copies. You do not need to be a member of the Methodist Church or even a church-goer. Prospective members are welcome to come along for a couple of weeks to see whether the choir is right for them before deciding whether to join. The social life of the Choir is held to be an important part of its work: refreshments are served at Enrolment Night and the Annual General Meeting and once a month the rehearsal ends in a Coffee Evening. Two singing days are also held during the season.
Annual subscription £35, which includes the loan of the music.
