Founded in 1973, the Leiden English Choir is an ambitious amateur choir with a passion for classical choral music.
We are inspired by the English choral tradition, but our repertoire is broad and varied, featuring music from many countries and periods. Our annual Christmas concert — famous throughout Leiden — always includes traditional carols, alongside other beautiful works. For our spring and summer concerts, we explore a new theme each year.
Rehearsals are held in both Dutch and English, and singers of all nationalities are welcome.
We are currently looking especially for tenors and basses. Sopranos and altos are also welcome apply, but may not always be placed immediately. Interested? Send a message to info@lec.nl and we will contact you soon.
New members
We are delighted to announce the arrival of some new choir members. Because these include some new women, we are particularly looking for more male voices, tenors and basses, to balance out the voice groups. So why not come along on a Wednesday evening and sing with us – a warm welcome assured!
