We welcome experienced SATB singers who are keen to perform music of all genres to a high standard in an informal environment.
Our ethos:
CONTEXT
Historical, social and environmental contexts of music, and the influence of these on performance, will be central to rehearsals and concerts. They will define the themes of our repertoire each year.
COLLABORATION
Based in Leeds, the choir has numerous opportunities to collaborate with other ensembles, composers and charities to promote and support musicians throughout the North. We hope to work with a variety of musicians to develop quality and future collaboration within the choir.
COMMUNICATION
No music?! Yes, we will perform without sheet music in concerts. In doing this, we intend to submerse ourselves, and audience in the context of the music. This will enable the choir to fully communicate their interpretations of the music, as well as allow audience to feel emotionally involved.
Who are we?
Both music students at the University of Leeds, Catherine Harris and Chantal Berry are experienced choral musicians with significant background in cathedral music. Catherine is a church organist and studies the ‘cello. Chantal’s main studies are piano and composition. They initially established this choir to develop their skills in conducting, as well as realise their love of choral music and history.
From October 2018, we will rehearse on Wednesday evenings in term-time and aim to perform at least three times a year in exciting and unusual locations. To arrange an audition, and for all other enquiries, please email solsticeconductors@gmail.com We would love to hear from you! less
