About

London’s first Trans* choir, designed to make use of unique voices and offer a safe and welcoming environment for all of us to be heard. The choir is non-auditioned and open to all; we’ll never ask you to disclose or prove your identity. If you feel this is the choir for you, you are welcome.

We are on hiatus during the Coronavirus outbreak, but drop us a line if you’d like to get in touch in the meantime!
