Five members of the Bach Choir from Bonn in Germany were in the audience on 10 December 2011 at Leeds Town Hall for the performance of Handel's Messiah, and in April 2012 a group from Leeds Festival Chorus was in the audience for a performance of Mozart's Dixit Dominus by the Bach Choir in Bonn.
The Chorus has its own language coaches for performances in German and in Russian.
Plans for a visit to Venice in August 2013 are now underway. This came about after an invitation was received by one of the Chorus's admirers - the concert pianist Alessandro Taverna, who performed at the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition in 2009 (3rd prize). The Chorus will sing Rachmaninov's Vespers in Caorle and in St Mark's Basilica, Venice.
