SUMMARY:Timeless Voices\, Heavenly Echoes
DESCRIPTION:The blooming of Europe’s earliest music\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an enlightening journey back into musical history set in the oldest church in Leeds!  \n\n\n\nFrom Hildegard to Gibbons\, this programme tracks how choral music developed across Europe through the Renaissance. The latest work was composed just ten years before St John’s Church was opened in 1634. \n\n\n\nEnglish Tudor masters William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons will feature alongside Italian\, Spanish and Flemish composers. Two of the earliest known female composers\, Hildegard and the Italian nun Raffaella Aleotti\, also get to strut their stuff! \n\n\n\nStarting at 4.30pm\, the concert will be relaxed: you will be able to come and go\, and to make the most of this rare chance to take in the superb interior of this ancient building. The church will be open all afternoon\, including while we rehearse\, so feel free to drop in and be curious! \n\n\n\nAdmission is free: you will be encouraged to donate to the Churches Conservation Trust who care for the building and to whom all proceeds will be given. \n\n\n\nThe concert will last about an hour. \n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers are passionate about the music we sing and want to share it with as many people as possible. We will do all we can to make anyone who comes to our concerts feel welcome and at ease. So if you’ve not tried this music out before\, why not come along and bring a friend? St John’s is an accessible venue\, albeit with no toilet facilities. Everyone is welcome.  \n\n\n\nWhat to expect at a St Peter’s Singers concert. \n\n\n\nPlease note that while we make every effort to present the advertised programme\, we cannot guarantee to do so or be held responsible if circumstances require a change. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nLaus TrinitatiHildegardUrbs beata JerusalemGuillaume DufayAve MariaJosquinVirgo PrudentissimaHeinrich IsaacVeni\, Dilecti miLassusMissa O quam gloriosamTomas Luis da VittoriaHaec DiesWilliam ByrdO Rex gloriaeLuca MarenzioAscendens Christus in altumRaffaella AleottiO clap your handsOrlando Gibbons\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers\n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow director\n\n\n\nAccess and accessibility\n\n\n\nSt John’s Church can be accessed from the corner of Mark Lane and New Briggate (opposite the Grand Theatre)\, or from Merrion Street via Merrion Street Gardens.

SUMMARY:Songs of Praise
DESCRIPTION:Book now !\n\n\n\n\nGreat English Choral music from Purcell to Dove\n\n\n\nJoin us in St John’s\, Baildon for a concert of uplifting song drawn from the great treasure trove of music that is the English Choral tradition\, built up over five centuries in our Cathedrals and Parish Churches and still as vibrant and excellent as ever. \n\n\n\nFrom Purcell’s vibrant anthem O sing unto the Lord to Benjamin Britten’s whimsical Rejoice in the Lamb and Jonathan Dove’s modern star-gazing classic Seek him that maketh the seven stars\, this concert showcases a tantalising selection of the music of worship and praise that has inspired generations of English churchgoers and music lovers. With further music by Wesley\, Stanford\, and others\, the programme has variety and a wide appeal. It even features a cat called Geoffrey… (come and listen to find out more about him!) \n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers are directed by Alexander Woodrow\, with Shaun Turnbull accompanying on St John’s superb neo-classical organ. \n\n\n\nThe performance will last about two hours\, including an interval during which wine and soft drinks will be available.  \n\n\n\n\nBook now !\n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers are passionate about the music we sing and want to share it with as many people as possible.
