Remembering Alvin Chua
|
We are enormously saddened to hear that Alvin Chua, who sang tenor with The Fourth Choir for several years, passed away on 3 April while being treated for COVID-19. Alvin was a warm, generous and well-loved member of the choir who brought us joy through his musicianship and friendship. Alvin threw his energy into both our concerts and the supportive and social side of the choir that means so much to us. We offer our deepest condolences to his partner Joe, his family - his mum Molly, sister Althea, brother-in-law Andrew and nephews Alex and Asher - and friends, and remember warmly the times and music we shared together.

We are London's LGBT + chamber choir for advanced singers
|
The Fourth Choir was founded in September 2013 by a group of LGBT + singers aspiring to sing classical and modern choral works to the highest possible standard. Led by the highly acclaimed Dominic Ellis-Peckham, one of the UK’s finest young choral conductors, our goal is to represent the LGBT + community on London’s world-class classical music scene.

What the critics say
|
"There are few places I’d rather be at Christmastime than crooning carols in the Wooden O with Toksvig, her merry eight-strong cast and singers from the Fourth Choir."
The Guardian on Christmas at the (Snow) Globe at Shakespeare's Globe

"The Fourth Choir were faultless in their skill and dedication, especially the enchanting sopranos, and it was clear that much passion, dedication and love had gone into this project, with each composition meticulously selected."
The Upcoming on Stonewall Warriors at Heaven on the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots |

“In a moving big finale, the Fourth Choir floods through the venue singing the Pet Shop Boys’ Liberation, each holding a candle. And everything seems that little bit brighter."

“A powerful, poignant performance”

"The closing track, "If We Only Had Love," finds Jungr and Safir alone in the company of the twenty-one member Fourth Choir who provide lush accompaniment for her rendition of Brel's epic hymn to love. A stunning way to conclude this stunning album."
