About

Experience the magic of choral music inspired by some of the most powerful voices in literature, performed live by the Leeds Guild of Singers. 

This specially curated programme brings together musical settings of texts by William Blake, William Shakespeare, Emily Brontë and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, alongside contemporary compositions that reflect the continuing dialogue between poetry and music.  

Spanning centuries of writing and a wide range of choral styles, the programme explores how composers return to literary texts for inspiration, reinterpretation and emotional depth. 

Moving between sacred reflection, folklore and lyric poetry, this performance reveals how words written centuries ago continue to resonate through collective voice. Join us for an evening where literature is not only read, but heard in harmony.
