We were very honoured to have been asked to perform in the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance 2022. The Festival is a commemorative event dedicated to all those that have served and sacrificed from Britain and the Commonwealth.
Other performers included Andrea Bocelli, Hollywood actor and singer Luke Evans, West End star Hannah Waddingham, musical theatre sensation Marisha Wallace, actress Shona McGarty, spoken word poet Jaspreet Kaur, and The Bach Choir. His Majesty, King Charles and members of the Royal Family attended and The Festival was broadcast on BBC One. The Choir was conducted by Jamie Powe and sang a setting of The Lord's Prayer by William Petter for the Service of Remembrance. We also joined actress Shona McGarty in a rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and sang the hymns Jerusalem and Sunset (based on the traditional bugle call) with the Bach Choir and congregation. For me your singing of the Lord’s Prayer was perfect for the moment and took us beautifully on from the prayers to the poem. |

We are London's LGBT + chamber choir for advanced singers

The Fourth Choir was founded in September 2013 in order to give professional and amateur LGBT+ singers and allies the opportunity to sing a cappella choral music to the highest standard possible.
Now approaching our 10th anniversary, the choir has given over 60 concerts in 40 different venues across 4 countries. The Choir has performed at many of London’s iconic cultural venues including the Royal Festival Hall, the Barbican, Kings Place, Wilton’s Music Hall, the British Museum and Shakespeare’s Globe. |
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."
