Ríu Ríu Chíu is a Spanish carol from the 16th century.
The title imitates the warning cry of a kingfisher alerting the shepherd that a wolf is threatening the lambs. The carol says that God is like a kingfisher who protected Mary from sin so that the Lamb of God could be born to save us all. |
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
|
"The Fourth Choir is an audaciously ambitious ensemble… who are not especially well-known as yet. But being sharp, smart and resourceful, they deserve to be."
Michael White, Music Correspondent for The Telegraph and New York Times |
"The Fourth Choir’s Christmas concert was a lovely event in a beautiful venue. The Choir’s lullaby to a real newborn baby was really touching and the singing was beautiful.”
Dame Ann Murray, Mezzo-Soprano |
"The harmonies were breath-taking. Exquisite. My bones were resonating. The choir were very good indeed... they are quickly going from strength to strength under the leadership of Dominic Ellis-Peckham."
Matthew James Hunt, author of I am not Gog |
