Be Proud in Isolation!
Premiered on YouTube at 5pm, Sunday 28 June 2020 Despite the difficult times we’re going through, The Fourth Choir felt that it's more important than ever to celebrate Pride this year. So, we've created this celebration video on YouTube. We sing for you and show you how we’ve kept the Choir going through three months of Lockdown. Some of our favourite people drop in to say hello and we tell you about Invisible Rainbow, an exciting project that we’re developing to celebrate the unacknowledged contribution that LGBT+ artists have made to rock and pop music since the 1950s. The Parade may have been cancelled but the party hasn’t! So, get your Pride glad rags on, pour yourself a drink and join us. The event is Captioned. |

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 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."

“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."

"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."
