Jan August Hendrik, Baron Leys 18 February 1815 26 August 1869 , also known as Henri Leys , was a Belgium Belgian Painting painter and printmaker . Henri Leys was born and died in Antwerp . He studied with Mathieu Ignace Van Br e 1773 1839 at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp and then with his brother in law Ferdinand De Braekeleer 1792 1883 . At the start of his career, he worked with the Belgian Romantic painter Egide Charles Gustave Wappers 1803 1874 . Both artists were interested in nationalistic subjects painted in styles that owe much to the example of 16th and 17th century Flemish painting. In 1835 Leys went to Paris where he visited the studio of Eug ne Delacroix and met Paul Delaroche . During the 1840s, Leys began painting scenes set in 16th century Antwerp, combining details studied from life with a deliberately archaizing style reminiscent of 16th century German painters like Albrecht D rer and Quinten Matsys . Some of the pictures have specific historical subjects, but others are genre scenes.

The Blackbird Leys Choir formed in January 2006 as Ivor s Choir for a constructed documentary series, The Singing Estate under Ivor Setterfield . Original members all live or work on or around the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford , England, and the series focused on their quest to become a classical choir in just three months. After performances in Oxford, Italy, and at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the choir s future was uncertain for a while, but core members remained keen after filming ended, and in summer 2006 it was confirmed that there was funding for performances in February 2007. Choir master Andrew Stewart took over, and rehearsals began in September 2006. On 19 December 2006 twenty members of the choir performed Handel s Messiah Handel Hallelujah Hallelujah chorus in private performance at Buckingham Palace for HM Queen Elizabeth II , the Duke of Edinburgh , and others they also sang carols for guests at the Achievers of the Year reception. On 14 January 2007 the choir reunited with Ivor Setterfield for Oxford Sings , with other singers from around the city and county, to sing the Hallelujah chorus in a one day workshop. This performance was recorded for broadcast on BBC local radio, and filmed for inclusion in a one year on documentary by the makers of The Singing Estate . On 14 February 2007 the choir performed with Oxford Philomusica at A Night at the Movies at the local BMW factory, and on 24 February 2007 at Oxford s Sheldonian Theatre with the Philomusica and two guest solo singers. In 2008 they performed again at the Sheldonian Theatre, with Julian Lloyd Webber and the Oxford Philomusica. In 2009 the choir performed a number of public concerts, and in August visited Oxford s sister cities twin town , Leiden , for a series of small concerts as part of the Rapenburg music festival.
