FIRE CHOIR
Open to all, this community choir is dedicated to revitalising communal singing with activism and empowerment at its heart.
Channel your love for, or discontent with, this world through powerful communal singing that feeds the fire in your belly. Fire Choir is a vehicle to take rabble-rousing, soul-lifting chants and hollers to the streets, the auditoria, the recording studio and beyond.
Fire Choir singers tap into the enormous and ancient international repertoire of songs rooted in social change and emancipation, highlighting social and environmental injustice around the world. Material includes folk songs, modern songs, anti-war songs, songs of resistance and struggle, the natural world, and songs of love and lost worlds.
The choir is run by The Nest Collective and was founded by folk musician Sam Lee and choir leaders Blythe Pepino, Alex Etchart, and Ben See, following a year-long fellowship at The Foundling Museum.
