Double Entendre

from Schütz to Pärt – glorious music for two choirs

11 February 2023 @ 4:00 pm 5:00 pm

Leeds Minster LS2 7DJ

£10 Free FTE/U18 available on-line (see below) or at the door

It’s not often you get to hear two choirs for the price of one!

Choirs sometimes combine to form a large chorus for a work on a grand scale, but this is different.

In this unique event, Leeds Guild of Singers and St Peter’s Singers combine to offer music for single choir, double choir and much in between. You can experience the thrill of hearing all 70 voices singing together in works such as Rheinberger’s glorious Mass in E flat, but also enjoy the contrasts of each choir singing on their own.

The programme includes a broad range of choral music ranging from the early German music of Schütz and Buxtehude through Romantic works by Mendelssohn, Rheinberger and Rachmaninoff to more modern works by Schnittke and Arvo Pärt.

The concert takes place in the beautful setting of Leeds Minster at 4pm on Saturday 11 February, and will last about an hour. Refreshments will be served.
