The Lydian Singers is a mixed voice chamber choir based at Knutsford but drawing membership from a far surrounding area. The choir was founded in 1980 and performs a wide variety of music in a wide variety of venues. The Lydian Singers has developed a specialism in church music performed in liturgical settings and has sung in most of the cathedrals in the North and Midlands as well as in Segovia, Avila, Perugia, Spoleto, Orvieto and Assisi cathedrals.  Previous engagements have included the semi-chorus in Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius" in Chester Cathedral, a joint performance with Phoenix Singers of Bach’s "St Matthew Passion" in Shrewsbury Abbey and services at Blackburn, Chester, Durham, Liverpool, Peterborough and Salisbury cathedrals.  In 2012, the Lydian Singers will be participating in services at Bangor and Lichfield Cathedrals, and in the summer, will return to the Lymm Festival to give the second performance of a new work by Andrew Mildinhall, "Even Such Is Time". 

The Lydian Singers currently has a vacancy for a pianist/organist to accompany the choir at rehearsals and some concerts.  Good score-reading skills are essential. 

There are also vacancies for sopranos and tenors who are good sight-readers.
