Avalon Choir is a lively and social community of singers based at Avalon Cafe in SE London.
Open access and non-audition the group is ever growing in size and character, meeting weekly since January 2023 for the joy and collective power of singing in multiple, acapella harmony.
The repertoire is varied and unique, combining new compositions, Eastern-European folk and noughties Pop classics with resistance songs for social justice and environmental projection. We shift the focus from sheet music and printed words to an embodied and live connection with ourselves and one another.
The choir performs regularly, raising money for local and international grassroots struggles including migrant support, anti-deportation activist legal fees, community housing campaigns, and frontline humanitarian support in Gaza.
