Celebration of Home
Recorded in December to welcome in 2021 Between the November Lockdown and London going into Tier 4, the Fourth Choir managed to have just one rehearsal in the Siobhan Davies Dance Studios. Grabbing the opportunity, we brought along cameras and recorded two songs to wish our friends a Happy New Year. The songs are Shomer Yisrael, a traditional Jewish song arr. by Benjamin Till, and The Road Home by Stephen Paulus. |
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 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."
