Our Show Choirs
We run three fun and exciting Show Choirs in London, blending performance techniques with high quality singing.
Our choirs perform regular concerts and cabarets and have performed in the West End as part of Gleekfest at the Arts Theatre, and with a West End cast at Wilton's Music Hall. In 2015, Starling Arts' three choirs sold out London's Great Hall for their fifth anniversary gala, High Five.
Special performances include wedding ceremonies, flash mobs for marriage proposals and hen parties, charity fundraising, the re-launch of Victoria Park, and a charity gala at Cadogan Hall. Starling choir members also lend their voices to new musical theatre projects and workshops, including Springtime for Henry and Barbara at Wilton's Music Hall and Corbyn the Musical at the Waterloo East Theatre.
The choirs have recorded two albums; Taking Flight in 2012, and High Five in 2015. In May 2016 over 50 members of the Starling Arts choirs performed in venues across Paris, including Disneyland Paris, as part of a music tour.

“The standard is really high, and that’s achieved not through auditions but by creating an inclusive, positive environment and a belief we can all be brilliant. I’ve seen people take on a whole song or a single line solo, a complex dance routine or simply being at the front, and get the same sense of achievement regardless of their experience or natural talent. It’s a beautiful thing to be a part of - it’s special.”
