As part of its contribution to the commemoration of the Armistice of 1918, members of the Chorus contributed to a 'War Requiem Exhibition' of photographs in the Brodrick Exhibition Space at Leeds Town Hall, curated by Chorus bass Richard Wilcocks. This was in place until the end of January 2019. It was made up of photographs of ancestors of Leeds Festival Chorus, City of Glasgow Chorus and Cantabile Choir who took part in various capacities in the First World War, together with photographs of staff and patients at Leeds's main war hospital at Beckett Park (2nd Northern General Hospital) are on display, with stories and explanations to accompany them. The three choirs, accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic, all performed in Benjamin Britten War Requiem at Leeds Town Hall on 17 November 2018. International The Chorus has its own language coaches for performances in German, Russian and Italian. The Chorus gave three concerts in Venice in August 2013. These engagements came about after an invitation was received from the concert pianist Alessandro Taverna, who performed at the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition in 2009 (3rd prize), and who is a native of Caorle, near Venice. The concerts took place in Saint Stephen's Cathedral in Caorle, and in St Mark's Basilica and Chiesa dei Gesuati in Venice. The Chorus gave concerts in Poland in August 2016 - in St Katherine's Church, Kraków, Kościół św. Krzyża (Church of the Holy Cross), Wrocław and Opole Cathedral as part of the BelleVoci International Music Festival. It also sang informally three hundred feet underground in the Warszawa Gallery of the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Kraków. Involvement with young people The Chorus supports Leeds Youth Choir in association with Leeds Artforms. Leeds Youth Choir welcomes young singers, male and female, aged 11+, to a group of about thirty singers. The choir sings a wide range of music, from popular songs and musicals to classical works, and takes part in three or more concerts each year in Leeds and Yorkshire. Support for Leeds Youth Choir is part of the Chorus's policy of encouraging young people to take more interest in classical music. Recordings Recordings on CD for Chandos Records and
