This choir sings House in a House Music style! We use 3-part harmonies; Soprano, Alto & Tenor and blend this into a contemporary ‘dance’ sound. We are building a strong repertoire with UK Dance Music producers which ensures plenty of live and recorded performances around London & UK. Our rehearsal sessions can involve working on up to 3 or 4 songs at a time and there is plenty of opportunity for our singers to develop lead roles for each track.

What the Choir Says”

I’ve wanted to join a choir for many years now; and the London House Music Choir provided the perfect opportunity to indulge my love of singing and house music, in the company of some now very good friends. The choir provides a great release from the stresses and strains of every day life and I always feel incredibly energised after a rehearsal. The choir members are an enthusiastic, supportive, talented bunch of people and Kayo knows exactly how to bring out the best in all of us. I’d heartily recommend it to anyone looking to advance in contemporary singing, and I’m very proud of our progression over the last year. We are a force to be reckoned with!
