F*Choir for Life!
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim: Join F*Choir's gorgeous evolution. We’re raising £7500 to create new, life affirming music and pour it back into our community.
F*Choir for Life!
Our goal is to secure £7500 to create new, life-affirming music to share and pour back into the wondrous community that sustains us. Since our last Crowdfunder three years ago, with the help of our supporters (that's you) we have blossomed in strength, grown in numbers and performed stunning sold out gigs, like this one. Queer music is alive and well.
Yet, just like a lot of other community and creative projects, we're finding it tough right now. We’ve had and lost six different rehearsal spaces, written countless applications to competitive, oversubscribed funders and felt the burnout of trying to keep hope alive.
As arts funding is cut back, our music continues to grow. We want to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on failed funding models. The F*Choir for Life fund will enable us to cultivate rad skills, establish more self-generated streams of income and kickstart new creative projects.
We’re calling on you, our incredible community of f*ans, friends and supporters to join us in this moment of beautiful evolution. Come with us, we rise ‘til revolution comes…
How Far We've Come
Since we formed in 2017, F*Choir has been a centre of gravity for our diverse members and wider LGBTQ+ community. We create an accessible and safe space for queer artistic expression, solidarity and joy through singing.
We’ve come to use communal singing as a restorative, liberatory practice, keeping us connected to ourselves and each other. Through this, we claim our right to our own voices as historically excluded people. F*Choir is more than a group of people to sing with. It’s a space for empowerment, connection and transformation.
We don’t quite fit the regular models of choral groups, bands and art collectives. From the ground up, we are growing a different kind of music ensemble and community-led organisation. And like seeds fallen between the cracks, this has meant we’ve not yet had our chance to fully come into the light and take up the space we know we deserve. We belong here. All of us, so…
Join Our Evolution
We are looking to raise £7500 to ensure we can nurture and share our radical practice long into the future.
With your donations we will be able to:
- Plan a single release and mini tour in 2026 (you heard it here first!)
- Find a long term, queer-friendly and accessible space we can call home*
- Maintain regular gigs, open sessions and weekenders across the year
- Hold 5 free bursary choir places for those who need them
- Test out and share new creative projects
- Develop and share exciting new workshops, which will provide us with more regular income
- Provide our leadership with mentoring and skills training to help us develop a sustainable model

About F*Choir
F*Choir is a 60-strong, all-genders, queer community choir. A radical, genre-defying ensemble with a repertoire of rousing experimental music, transforming choral traditions into a visceral, collective experience. Led by composer and multidisciplinary artist Jenny Moore, we are known for using non-gendered voice parts and unconventional scores, creating emotive, full-body, multi-part harmonies and polyphonic percussive arrangements.
We’ve performed across the UK and Europe, including sold out gigs at Barbican Centre, Bishopsgate Institute, Earth Hackney, Raven Row, Hackney Empire and Wellcome Collection all in London, Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, and Borealis Festival in Bergen, Norway. Our work has been featured on BBC3 Late Junction, The Guardian, New Statesmen and Stylist magazine.
