Do you enjoy singing? Would you like to share the joy and enrichment of singing with others? Join our new community choir that comes together every week on a Thursday evening. 

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.
