Leigh Orpheus Male Voice Choir

Directions Website Contact the organisation

Reputedly one of the largest male voice choirs in the UK with about 50 members in total. Many of our performances are fund-raisers for local charities.

Based near Southend on Sea in Essex, Leigh Orpheus is a friendly choir aiming to bring the joy of singing as a performer to men in the area. We also aim to bring the joy of listening to as many people as possible. We perform concerts locally and further afield and each year go on tour, sometimes in the UK and sometimes abroad. The choir has enjoyed successful concerts at the Cliffs Pavilion with Alfie Boe, Lee Mead, and The Kings' Singers. In January 2016 we performed at The Cliffs with three other male voice choirs. If you are interested in singing with us by all means come along and see if you like what you hear and would consider joining us – there is no obligation. We rehearse on Friday evenings from 7:30 at the Salvation Army Temple, London Rd, Hadleigh. Or come and see us in concert.

It is with great sadness that we have to report that our very dear friend and long-standing Leigh Orpheus member Arthur Coulson passed away yesterday. Arthur will be sadly missed by the choir in general and the Tenor 2 Section in particular.

Rest in Peace, Arthur. We'll sing 'Gwahoddiad' in your memory at rehearsal this evening.
