The Rainbow Chorus winter concert was postponed at the eleventh hour on December 15 due to water damage at St George Church which rendered the building unsafe.
This evening, the Rainbow Chorus presents 21— a sumptuous summer’s evening feast of songs, part of the choirs 21st anniversary celebrations.

Rainbow Chorus have a new members night on September 11 at St Georges Church, Kemptown, starting at 6.30pm. All members of the LGBT+ communites are welcome to attend, especially those with tenor and bass voices.

If you thought a night with the Rainbow Chorus couldn’t get any better, then stand by for a departure from their usual concert format. For one night only on May 13 they will roll out an evening of songs from the familiar, the not so familiar, to the downright quirky as the marvellous, beautiful sounding and often hilarious Yorkshire based, lesbian a cappella singing group, The Deep C Divas, join in the fun.
