Share the joy of singing with others and make new friends at this new community choir that comes together weekly on Thursdays led by Rachel Huggins and Abdul Shyllon. 

Over the course of 10 weeks, learn to sing a range of musical styles, including fresh reworkings of pop, soul, gospel, reggae, house and classical music, before sharing your work in front of an audience at an end of term performance.

The Barbican Community Choir is a new initiative that's led by Rachel Huggins, singer, songwriter and two-time finalist in the BBC’s Gospel Choir of the Year competition, and Abdul Shyllon, a singer, songwriter and composer whose work spans across, music, film, and theatre.
