About The choir

Coro Nostro is a mixed chamber Choir of about 30 members of all ages, backgrounds and musical histories. Members are drawn from across the Universities, Leicester City and County, UK and beyond.

We have a wide repertoire (which you can check out by following the link in the side bar) of sacred and secular polyphonic motets, madrigals and part songs ranging from the 13th to the 21st Century including 3 new pieces written especially for us by Anthony Pither, and a motet, 'O Eve!', written in 2007, and dedicated to Robert Kenny and the choir by American composer Frank La Rocca. Professor La Rocca came over from Oakland for the first performance at Christmas 2007.

We receive much praise from the public for the quality of our musicianship, variety of our repertoire and authenticity and clarity of our diction and expression. A lively and friendly group, we always welcome new singers, whether relative beginners or experienced choral singers.
