Fauré Requiem – The Sixteen / Leeds Cathedral Choir

On Sunday 9th November, 3pm, Leeds Cathedral Choir, with members of The Sixteen and Genesis Sixteen, directed by Harry Christophers, will be giving a FREE Remembrance Sunday Concert in Leeds Cathedral, featuring Fauré’s Requiem, and music by Bach, Byrd, Parry and Sheppard.

This is the culmination of an intense weekend of workshops with our choristers, all of whom come from inner-city state schools as part of our Schools Singing Programme.

Admission is FREE – but with a suggested donation of £10 to ensure we can keep offering these opportunities to thousands of young people across West and North Yorkshire – so please consider making a donation here:  https://dioceseofleedsmusic.org.uk/support-us/

2025-11-09 Fauré Requiem

Leeds Cathedral Choir draws its membership from our whole-class sessions in Catholic state primary schools across the city. Its seven choirs – for children aged 5 to 18 – sing for the daily Masses and liturgies at the Cathedral, broadcast regularly on national BBC Radio and TV, have made numerous commercial recordings, and participate in tours, concerts and projects with internationally-renowned choral groups including Gabrieli and The Sixteen.

The Cathedral is 10 minutes’ walk from Leeds Railway Station, and the nearest parking is Q-Park at The Light, adjacent to the Cathedral.
