The Leeds University Choral Expertise and Attainment Network (LUCEAT) is delighted to announce a third choral workshop day and concert for choral singers and directors, led by Bryan White, Graham Coatman and Steve Muir at the School of Music, University of Leeds. This year’s workshop features an exciting opportunity to explore unusual repertoire for double and multiple choirs in the excellent musical facilities of the University.

During the workshop, participants will study unusual corners of the choral repertory for multiple choirs, including Russian composer Dmitri Bortniansky’s majestic concerto for double choir, Nebesa povedayut slavu Bozhiyu (‘The heavens declare the glory of the Lord’) in a new edition by Leeds University Russian music expert Stephen Muir, Graham Coatman’s Entartung (premiered in 2007 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) and William Sterndale Bennett’s motet for double choir, In thee, O Lord. There will be a chance to meet other singers and choir directors, make contacts and share experiences, and sing alongside members of other choirs, including the two host ensembles (the Clothworkers Consort, and Leeds Guild of Singers).

The day will culminate in a concert given by workshop participants, featuring music rehearsed during the workshop, directed by Bryan White, Graham Coatman and Stephen Muir.
