Not religious?
Enjoy singing?
We are a friendly, non-auditioned London-based choir. Our emphasis is on enjoying music in a welcoming, non-religious environment. Our wide-ranging repertoire consists of secular music that’s joyful and fun to sing. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings, 7-9pm at Doreen Bazell Hall, a short walk from Kings Cross station. New members welcome!
We are part of Humanists UK.

Come and sing!
The new rehearsal season for the BHA Choir is here! We've got new songs, new people, new Committee members and lots of new ideas!
This term starts tonight until mid-December. We're working towards a number of performances including Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People hosted by Robin Ince at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
All music is available at rehearsal and we start singing at 7pm. Fees are £5 per rehearsal or a term subscription of £50 (10% discount). Concessions are available upon request (email) - we never want money to be a barrier to singing.

* state-funded religious schools
We promote:
* freedom of religion, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech
* women’s equality and reproductive rights
* equal rights for LGBT people in all the European Union
* a secular Europe – democratic, peaceful, open and just, with no privilege for religious or belief organisations
* one law for all, no religious exemptions from the law
* state neutrality in matters of religion and belief
New rehearsal season – Tuesday 31st July
The BHA Choir has had a successful few months, we performed at the BHA Conference in Cardiff in June at the lovely National Museum. Comedians Izsi Lawrence and Richard Herring were amongst the other performers that evening.
We helped Alom Shaha launch his new book The Young Atheist's Handbook at Conway Hall to a packed room. And most recently we performed at the BHA AGM at the Bishopsgate Institute to a very enthusiastic audience. Well done everyone!
The new rehearsal season starts tomorrow evening, Tuesday 31st July, at 18:45 at 1 Gower Street. We will be learning new music (copies will be made available) and we will be perfecting some oldies too!
We are looking forward to an exciting season, hope you can join us.
