There are other groups in the country called Lydian Singers (or Choir) - please don't confuse us!
We are a choir of around 14-15 singers who
live in Sheffield, UK, and meet both to sing and explore the
repertoire for our own interest, and also to give a few
concerts
every year for charity or other events, when we can do so.
Our repertoire is largely of early and late part-songs - anything singable, madrigals, motets, modern songs, and so-forth. We often perform new works, examples being the compositions and arrangements of John Kilpatrick, the late Percy Snowdon, and the late John Earwaker; and we have recently added a piece by Robin Hughes, who now sings with the choir.
For the last few years we have given a joint
concert in June or early July at St Peter's Church, Hope, in Wakes Week; first with the Folds Wind Quintet, then
the Mayfield Wind
Octet, and most recently with the Caccia Wind Quintet.
