Trinity Voices launched in 2018 is Leeds Trinity University’s first pop choir. The sessions are feel-good and uplifting, and led by 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.
More information can be found on the Trinity Voices Facebook page.
