It has 170 singing members in soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections. Presenting classical choral music of a professional standard in Yorkshire and elsewhere in Britain, including at the BBC Proms and Manchester Arena, the Chorus is broadcast regularly on BBC Radio 3. The Leeds Festival Chorus was first formed in 1858 (the year Queen Victoria opened the Leeds Town Hall) to sing at the first Leeds Musical Festival, and was reformed for each succeeding one. The Chorus became independent in 1985. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008 with a performance of a specially-commissioned work by Judith Bingham - a world premiere. It has been conducted by many distinguished maestri in its long history, including Arthur Sullivan, Thomas Beecham, John Barbirolli, Carlo Maria Giulini, Jascha Horenstein, Hans Richter, Pierre Boulez, Charles Mackerras, Colin Davis, John Eliot Gardiner, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Mark Elder, Roger Norrington, John Lubbock a...    less

Commissioned by Central Bucks High School-West, premiered at the ACDA Conference 2020 (Rochester, NY) by the Central Bucks High School-West Women’s Choir. This piece is a protest: a poignant outcry forged from silenced echoes, demanding to be heard. “Human” celebrates the mosaic of humanity—diversity in our DNA, the kaleidoscope of genders, and the unity that emerges when we embrace our differences. Perfect for advanced women’s choirs, festivals, and programs exploring justice and identity Lyrics: Joe Hazell & Gianni Recupero Music: Santiago Veros  less

Lift your feet up so you won't miss it, Wake up, take advantage, The Tap-Tap is warming up! If your legs are short, get a head start; The best time is now, Don't say you didn't know, Those who are wise are those who lead. Don't let time pass you by, It's time for you to get on board, The Tap-Tap is leaving now, It's time for us to go! Hurry up, walk quickly! Lift your feet up and don't miss it, The Tap-Tap is taking off! Don't fool around, get on! Don't wait, don't stare, Don't joke around, get on! The Tap-Tap might just leave you! Get up! Stand proud! Those of you who know what you want, Those of you with your minds made up, Don't miss a great opportunity To do something for the nation!
