Sing London
Sing London is a non profit organisation which was set up in 2006. Our purpose is to use collective singing to connect people; to each other and to the spaces around them. We launched in 2007 with Sing London – a festival offering over 120 collective singing events across London. All kinds of singing was on offer: spirituals at the British Museum, opera with the Royal Opera House or R&B with Omar at the Jazz Café. There were singing supermarkets, singing shopping centres and you could even catch a singing bus down Oxford Street. See what we did.
2008 we were funded by LOCOG to deliver Sing the Nation – which brought participatory singing to city centres and museums as part of the Olympic Handover celebrations. Other projects include a flashmob with Royal Albert Hall and a Complaints Choir with Primary Proms: Sing the Nation.
2009 Sing London is delivering 2 main projects :
Play Me I’m Yours/ The Street Pianos Project with artist Luke Jerram (www.streetpianos.com)
Singing Histories - a series of 8 books which use regional song to explore local history. The project launches at the British Library on June 8th with Singing History of London.
