It was formed by Bryan White, Stephen Muir and Philip Wilby of the School of Music, University of Leeds in 2002.
The choir draws its membership from across the whole University, and has included undergraduates, postgraduates and staff from the departments of Physics, English, Molecular Biology, Music, Classics, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Joint Honours, Earth Sciences, and The Lifelong Learning Centre.
The choir has conducted successful concert tours to Prague (Easter 2005) and Germany (Summer 2007), and was one of only twelve from around the world to be invited to participate in the Universitas Cantat International Choral Festival in Poznań, Poland in June 2005.
It has recorded two CDs: Songs of Praise: Music from the West Riding (Doyen: 2004), and Vox Dei (SoundRecording: 2006), featuring world premiere recordings of music by Samuel Wesley, Maurice Greene, George Holmes, and Leeds University composers James Brown and Philip Wilby.
The choir held an annual Choral Composition Competition sponsored by the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society.
