Trinity Voices launched in 2018 is Leeds Trinity University’s first pop choir. The Sessions are feel-good and uplifting, and led Diocesan Choral Director Alex Kyle. The choir sings music by artists as diverse as Clean Bandit, U2, Bob Marley, Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams whilst providing the best vocal training to build confidence and skills. As well as regularly performing within the University, in February 2019 Trinity Voices had the opportunity to take part in the UK Choirs Festival in Manchester. They also have regular singing workshops with Craig Lees, winner of BBC One’s Pitch Battle and inspirational director of Leeds Contemporary Singers.

We were thrilled to welcome @jamesmacm to Leeds Cathedral this evening, where we enjoyed his fascinating discussion with @Opera_North’s Richard Mantle. Fantastic singing from @DOLMusic Cathedral Girls and @ndcchoir beforehand, too!

A privilege and responsibility to work for @DOLMusic where a superb cathedral choir is just part of a sustained system of classroom singing...last night I got to step back and listen as Notre Dame students conducted, an amazing sound from our Girls' Choir and School Scholars!
What do more than 400 musicians performing Parry look like? I'm glad you asked... 🎺🎺👑👑🎻🎻🎶🎶🍾🎉

We enjoyed a superb Diocesan Girls' Choir Festival at the weekend, with our special guests the Notre Dame Children's Choir, directed by Dr Mark Doerries. Over 120 young singers gave a fabulous performance, from medieval chants and songs to Elgar. This Sunday it's the turn of our boys' choirs - do come and hear them sing for Solemn Mass at 11am and give a joint performance at 2.30pm.
It was a great honour to host Sir James MacMillan for Vespers, Mass and Concert on Tuesday. Sir James gave an interview with Richard Mantle (Director, Opera North) at the end of the evening.
We are so proud of two of our Cathedral Choir members who represented Leeds in the Choristers of Great Britain Concert at Liverpool Cathedral on Friday. The concert is a celebration by the national charity Friends of Cathedral Music, who have recently given £30,000 to Leeds Cathedral as an endowment.
