Welcome

Welcome to this new blog about the happenings of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds Music Department.

With 6 auditioned choirs and over 20 school choirs and singing groups there is rarely a dull moment!

Leeds Cathedral has 4 choirs who between them sing 9 services a week. Vespers and Mass are sung on a daily basis with much of the repertoire being Gregorian Chant and 16th Century Polyphony.

In Bradford, there are 2 auditioned choirs - the Bradford Boys' and Girls'. These choirs sing both liturgical and concert music. In addition, the Diocesan music department is responsible for choirs in the 4 Catholic high Schools and all the Catholic primary schools in the city.

Future posts will provide an introduction to each of the choirs and members of staff. I do hope you find it interesting and informative!
