Thank you to all of you who joined us for concerts throughout the year, with highlights including Good Friday’s performance of Bach’s B Minor Mass, our tour which featured an evensong service in Durham Cathedral, and our recent concert of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.

We were also very glad to be able to host a day in tribute to our former director, Dr Simon Lindley, filling Leeds Minster with singers and musicians joining together for a musical celebration in his memory.

These have been such fantastic experiences for us as singers, and we hope those of you able to join us enjoyed them as much as we did!

Friday 3 April 7.00pm: Music for Good Friday including Brahms’ German Requiem

Saturday 9 May late afternoon in St John’s, Briggate: a Feast of 16th and 17th century choral music.

More details for these performances will be announced soon.

We’ll also be singing the morning Eucharist service this Sunday 4th January at Leeds Minster, and we’d love to see some of you there.

Wishing you a very happy new year and all our best for 2026, from all of us at St Peter’s Singers of Leeds.

What is historically-informed performance? 🎶 🎻 🎺

What is historically-informed performance? 🎶 🎻 🎺

Historically-informed performance aims to recreate the musical sounds of different periods, using instruments dating from the time, and reviving musical techniques and styles which were left behind as musical technology progressed. This allows music fans now to hear the music as its composers may have intended or expected it to sound.

We're delighted to be joining forces with the fantastic 18th Century Sinfonia - specialists in the music of this era- for our performance of J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio this Saturday!

Be sure to join us for a unique opportunity to hear their period instruments up close, and experience the music of Bach as you may never have heard it before! 🎵
