Founded in 1977 and based at Leeds Minster, St Peter's Singers of Leeds is one of the leading chamber choirs in the North of England, with a strong track record of innovation and enterprise. Directed until 2021 by Dr Simon Lindley, and now by Alexander Woodrow, it has established a reputation for compelling and musical interpretations of choral music dating from the Renaissance to the present day.
St Peter’s Singers appear regularly in Leeds Leisure Services lunchtime concerts, and present one of the great works from the Oratorio repertoire each year on Good Friday in Leeds Minster. In recent years they have also appeared with Leeds Philharmonic and Leeds Festival Chorus in other Town Hall concerts.
In 2014, the choir performed and then recorded a programme of spiritual music in the Victoria Quarter, the heart of Leeds' commercial centre, exploiting the wonderful acoustics of that space to produce an acclaimed CD, One Equal Music.
2018 also saw the Singers give the first performance of another new work: Tu es Petrus, commissioned by the choir from Philp Moore to celebrate its 40th anniversary, received its first hearing at a recital in Leeds Minster in June.
St Peter's Singers welcomes new members - please contact the Choir secretary for details.
