Kaines Festival of Choirs Celebrates 15 Years of Choral Joy
A choir can change the feeling of a room in seconds. One shared breath, one opening note, and the audience leans in. This year, that feeling returns to Leicester as Kaines Festival of Choirs marks its 15th anniversary with an evening of warm voices, local talent, visiting choirs and music for all ages.
The anniversary event will take place at Curve Studio Theatre, Rutland Street, Leicester, on Saturday 21 November at 7pm. After years of filling the Curve stage with fun-filled, harmonious performances, the festival returns to honour a milestone that belongs not only to the singers, but also to the audiences who have helped make it such a loved occasion.
This is a celebration of choral music at its most welcoming. Expect a joyful evening shaped by community, craft and the simple pleasure of hearing voices come together.
A milestone year for a much-loved choral event
Reaching a 15th anniversary is no small thing for a community arts event. It means people have returned year after year. It means choirs have made space in their calendars. It means audiences have trusted the festival to offer an evening that feels uplifting, polished and full of heart.
Kaines Festival of Choirs has built that trust by bringing together local and visiting choirs for performances that feel both accomplished and accessible. The event has long had a simple appeal: people enjoy hearing people sing. There is no need for specialist knowledge or musical training to feel the impact of a well-sung choral piece.
Some audience members come because they love choir music. Others come to support friends, family members or local groups. Some may be new to the festival altogether. The best choral events make space for all of those experiences, and this anniversary evening promises to do exactly that.
The 15-year mark also gives the festival a chance to pause and honour what has been built. Over the years, the Curve stage has welcomed voices from across Leicester and beyond. Each choir brings its own sound, style and energy, but the shared aim remains the same: to offer music that brings people together.
The Curve Studio Theatre is an ideal setting
The Curve Studio Theatre offers an intimate setting for choral performance. In a larger space, the distance between stage and audience can sometimes soften the impact of a choir. In a studio theatre, the connection can feel more immediate.

An evening suitable for all ages
One of the clearest strengths of this anniversary celebration is that it is suitable for all ages. That opens the door to families, grandparents, young music students, long-time supporters and first-time visitors.
If this is a family outing, it can also become a memorable first theatre experience.
A live choir is more than a performance. It is a roomful of people choosing to listen, sing and celebrate together.
A Leicester evening with a strong community spirit
Leicester has a rich cultural life, with theatre, music, dance, festivals and community events taking place across the city throughout the year. Kaines Festival of Choirs fits naturally into that cultural mix. It is rooted in performance, but also in participation and shared enjoyment.
