The Fourth Choir
London's LGBTQ+ chamber choir for advanced singers, founded in September 2013. Around 50 members, half former choral scholars or professionals, about 36 on stage per concert. A cappella, medieval to contemporary, with commissions from gay composers. Thursday evenings in Lambeth, a proper audition, and membership by voluntary donation.
