Acclaimed Leeds Choir St Peter’s Singers, founded by Harry Fearnley in the Summer of Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee Year, celebrates forty years of music-making on Sunday 25 June at 5.30 pm when the Singers present their Fortieth Anniversary Concert at Leeds Minster [formerly Leeds Parish Church] where rehearsals of this fine choir are still held late on Sunday evenings each week following Choral Evensong.

The programme of music including Bach’s Cantata 11 [also known as the Ascension Oratorio], Palestrina’s Missa Brevis and E J Moeran’s glorious Songs of Springtime – all featured at the very first concert by St Peter’s Singers in June 1977.
