Not religious?
Enjoy singing?
We are a friendly, non-auditioned London-based choir. We are part of Humanists UK, and our emphasis is on enjoying music in a welcoming, non-religious environment, helping promote the open, understanding, and secular ethos of Humanism. Our repertoire is joyful life-affirming and great fun, reflecting the central part singing has always had in human life. We're led by our inspirational Director, Alex.

Trans Remembrance 2022
We were honoured to be part of the 2022 Trans Day of Remembrance ceremony organised by LGBT Humanists. In addition to singing two songs, our members read the names of Trans people lost to violence this past year to honour them. It is always a very moving tribute with a hopeful message of love and acceptance.
