Less than a month after their concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the award-winning Diversity Choir will perform at the iconic church of St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, London on July 3 at 7.30pm.

The concert coincides with Gay Pride Day and will cover a wide repertoire of hymns and songs, old and new, classic and modern – from Barber, Bernstein and Purcell to Abba and Erasure.
 
Diversity Choir is London’s LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) chamber choir with some 40 voices, conducted by Andrea Brown, Director of Music at Morley College.  Future plans include a September concert in the Kings Place Festival, as well as performances of the Monteverdi Vespers – Diversity-style!

 
Andrea Brown said:
“We are delighted to be performing on Gay Pride Day at St Martin-in-the-Fields. With its very progressive agenda and being located at the epicenter of London and the Gay Pride events, it is an ideal venue for us. We hope many will come to hear us!”

Diversity Choir was formed in 1992 by lesbians and gay men who wanted to sing some of the most beautiful classical music written for choirs along with the best of other musical genres. Now 40-strong, Diversity regularly performs concerts at home and abroad, most recently in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre and with the London Gay Symphony Orchestra at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, as well as tours of Berlin and Frankfurt.
