There are other groups in the country called Lydian Singers (or Choir) - please don't confuse us!

We are a choir of around 15-16 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 have a history of performing new works, or those not widely established. Examples are the compositions and arrangements of  John Kilpatrick, the late Percy Snowdon, and the late John Earwaker, all from Sheffield, though we do look further afield as well!

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.
