Join us for our summer concert and a celebration of music from Theatre, Opera and the Cinema at the beautiful St Paul’s in Knightsbridge at 7:30pm on Saturday 25 June 2022.
Entitled Stage & Screen, London’s LGBT+ chamber choir’s summer concert will include repertoire from Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Bernstein, Weill, Sondheim and Verdi.
St Paul’s is close to both Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner tube stations. Accessibility : there is a ramp outside the church which enables easy access into the church. However, there is one step up on the way to the toilets and the toilets are not large enough to accommodate wheelchair access.
Tickets on sale now. £15 (£10 concessions).
Back together again!
Diversity Choir has continued to rehearse and perform throughout the pandemic in as safe and as practical way as possible. Beginning with zoom rehearsals, then cautiously returning to large church spaces, we even managed to stage a successful Christmas Concert in December 2021.
Now we’re rebooting ourselves and looking forward to building a strong repertoire to perform at the Various Voices LGBT music festival in Bologna, Italy, in June 2023. Our Workshop Day on Saturday 19 March 2022 in the City of London included some informal coaching sessions; the opportunity to meet up with old friends; and a chance to sing all together again.
We’re inviting interested newcomers and former members to join us. We have space in every section so we want new or returning members to come, see what we do, and get a good impression!

Diversity Choir’s Winter Concert 2021
Diversity Choir’s first concert appearance for two years was at the beautiful St Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge on Saturday 4 December 2021.
It seemed appropriate to entitle this Back Together Again, and we sang some old and new favourite pieces, classical and popular, from Monteverdi and Brahms to Queen, plus a special tribute to Stephen Sondheim with our own arrangement of ‘Send in the Clowns’!
