Who are the White Rosettes?

The White Rosettes are a Leeds-based female barbershop chorus. In October 2022 they won the LABBS National Ladies Chorus Championship for an unprecedented 17th time and have been European Ladies’ Barbershop Chorus Champions three times!

Under the direction of Sally McLean, The White Rosettes aim to push the boundaries of technical excellence, musicality and performance, and achieve this by entering prestigious national and international competitions and performing both in the UK and mainland Europe.  The chorus sings a range of styles, from strict barbershop, to jazz, gospel and show classics.

The White Rosettes, as LABBS Chorus Champions 2022, will be competing in the Barbershop Harmony Society International Contest in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2024! It is an honour to be the first LABBS chorus to fill the association’s first ever automatic chorus spot in this contest. We are so thankful to LABBS for this amazing opportunity, we hope we will do you proud! Now full steam ahead with the fundraising as we are not leaving any chorus member behind. We are making plans for all sorts of activities and we hope you will come and support us in our endeavours. If you’re not able to attend one of our fundraising events but still wish to support us, please visit our GoFundMe page. No donation is too small!

We're so pleased to let you know that on Saturday a new sculpture, celebrating and honouring the lives of women who live and work in Leeds and the contribution they have made to local life will be unveiled. It's situated at Quarry Hill, near Leeds Playhouse and it's very special to us because it will carry the name of someone we're incredibly proud of. It's called 'Ribbons' because it's made up of 5 steel ribbons. And on one of the ribbons, Sally McLean's name will be visible for all to see and to celebrate for many, many, years to come. We'll be singing during the public launch event on Saturday afternoon (link below) and we can't wait.

It's a little early - but the mince pies are already on the supermarket shelves so we thought we'd give you fair warning of what we'll be up to on Wednesday 4th December this year.

Some Starlight Singing from us, some Starlight Sketches from RoCo Dramatic Society and a special spot from Rooftop Social Club, with cheese and wine included. Can you think of a better way to start the Christmas season? Treat yourself to a ticket now...you know you want to.
