Singing

Singing competitions

We have competition classes in both Art Song and Stage & Screen categories for amateur singers of all ages and levels. Whether you are learning your first piece or are an accomplished performer already, we can offer you a platform. Perform to a friendly, supportive audience, receive constructive feedback from an expert in the field, and perhaps even win a medal or the trophy! Winners from selected classes are invited to perform again in the Gala Concert on Sunday 14th February.

If you are a singing teacher or school representative intending to enter several students, email leicestermusicfest@gmail.com for assistance.

Age requirements

Our singing classes are divided into junior and senior categories. Please see our syllabus for more information on age requirements for each class.

Workshops & Masterclases

Each year we put on a variety of accessible educational workshops and masterclasses ranging from open workshops for all ages and abilities to more specialised masterclasses for advanced players.

Leicester MusicFest offers a rare opportunity for you to be immersed in lots of different aspects of music-making. Why not learn about something new? Come and sing in a chorus, learn how to warm up your voice, get coaching on bringing a character to life, or see how Alexander Technique can help you use your body more efficiently when you sing.

All of our workshops and masterclasses are free for under-19s, and heavily subsidised for adults.

Concerts

Come to one of our concerts and be inspired - we have a range of performances throughout the festival, ranging from relaxed daytime demos to full-scale productions!

​

Here at Leicester MusicFest, we like to finish our festival on a high note, being our Gala Concert. The first half sees selected winners of the weekend's competitions take to the stage again; then in the second half we present an inspiring professional performance featuring award-winning stars and emerging young artists. Our second half this year will be a professional song recital given by Timothy Morgan (English Touring Opera).

​

All of our concerts are free for under-19s, with heavily subsidised tickets for adults.

Full details of our upcoming concerts coming soon.
