Leeds Male Voice Choir and special guests perform music for a summer evening, including ballads, classical pieces and songs from the shows at St Stephen’s, Kirkstall.
Leeds Male Voice Choir returned to Morley Town Hall for the first time in four years on March 30, with a packed concert celebrating the very best songs from the world of musical theatre. Joined by the City of Leeds Youth Wind Orchestra, to a packed audience the choir performed music including The Lullaby of Broadway, Any Dream Will Do, Coffee in A Cardboard Cup, This Nearly Was Mine, Make Them Hear You and Bring Him Home.
This marks the last performance before the choir depart for a cathedral tour of Budapest in May 2019. Musical Director Tim Knight said “We had a great evening with the people of Morley trying out some new pieces in a splendid building. It’s was a pleasure to return to Morley Town Hall.”
