A welcome from LUCC
The Leicester University Chamber Choir aims to offer an exciting and challenging opportunity to talented singers that have already had some previous singing experience. We perform both sacred and non sacred pieces with repertoire including lesser known, rarely performed chamber works. Over the course of the year the choir performs in at least two high profile concerts, along with some other smaller events. Welcome to our webpage!

On behalf of the choir I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Batten for all his hard work over the past two years. Mark has decided that it is time to move on from the choir and we wish him all the best for the future.
For the past two years Mark has dedicated many hours to the choir getting the best quality of sound he possibly can. I am sure everyone will agree that he has done a wonderful job and hopefully we will have an opportunity to work together again in the near future.
Thank you Mark once again for all your hard work and dedication.

The Evensong is at 3.30pm for one hour and we will be having a rehearsal at 2.00pm. Afterwards we would like to invite everybody for a meal. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to sing in such a prestigious Cathedral and we thank Mark our conductor for arranging this.
