Welcome

WHO ARE WE?

Leeds Musical Theatre Choir is a choir based in the heart of Leeds that specialises in performing songs from everyone's favourite musicals from stage and screen. Whilst the choir has high standards and great pride in the quality of the sound it makes it welcomes new members regardless of their musical experience. The choir places a lot of emphasis on being a community, a place where life long friends are formed through the wonder of music.

The choir was founded by musical director and arranger Robert Sanders in 2020, opening it's doors to the public in February 2022.

Despite being a relatively 'new' choir we have grown in size and now has over 300 members. In its first year LMTC performed 3 sell out performances at Yeadon Town Hall. In 2023 we are performing at the spectacular 'Huddersfield Town Hall' and 'St Georges Hall'.

We'd love to have you onbaord with us for this magical journey!

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

I was really apprehensive when I went for my first try-out session as I hadn’t sung in a choir since high school and I am now… well let’s just say it’s been a few decades. And I also don’t really read music. I shouldn’t have been nervous. I was made to feel very welcome. Robert makes the process of learning the songs as easy as possible, and there are lots of laughs. The sound we produce as a group makes my heart sing. Joining the choir is one of the best things I’ve done in years.
