LCV is well-known as one of the most diverse professional choirs in the world, in terms of both our singers and the range of artistic projects we work on. Our professional singers come from a wide range of musical backgrounds and lived experiences. Unlike many session choirs, our singers are a close-knit community and meet regularly.
The UK’s first professional choir for Trans+ people, Trans Voices, comes under our umbrella. We also collaborate regularly with Citizens Of The World Choir. We have an extensive network and can provide choirs across the UK, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
