The Leicester University Chamber Choir is an ambitious group of around 30 student singers, based at the University of Leicester. In normal times, we perform regularly in Leicester and further afield, and enjoy exploring a wide variety of choral repertoire, both sacred and secular. We employ a professional Musical Director and Vocal Coach, and the choir is run by a very active committee of dedicated students.

Through this concert, we are hoping to raise much needed funds to continue to meet the basic costs of keeping the choir running. With significant funding cuts and loss of concert income due to the Covid-19 crisis, this year has posed major financial challenges for the choir, which is now increasingly reliant on external grant funding and private donations to help us to continue.

These are difficult times for choirs and for the arts in general, particularly as we are not currently able to rehearse or perform in person. Nonetheless, the choir has worked hard to adapt quickly to the changing restrictions, embracing weekly online rehearsals and even managing to welcome new members, despite being unable to meet in person.

We hope that you all enjoy our first ever online Christmas concert!
