Applications for this year’s LSO Community Voices choir are now closed, but you can still book tickets to be in the audience.
It’s a huge thrill to perform on the Barbican Hall stage with one of the greatest orchestras in the world – not many people can say they’ve done that! If you’ve never sung gospel before, you’ll learn new skills; and even if you have, you’re guaranteed new friends and musical sunshine through the autumn.

About the Concert
The concert will bring together modern gospel music with the sounds of a symphony orchestra, and is curated and conducted by choral and gospel singing expert André J Thomas.
Thomas is a passionate advocate for gospel music. ‘Gospel music does not apologise,’ he says. ‘It comes straight out, fiery and quick. It’s like lighting a firecracker – you start with a sizzle and that’s it. I hope that people will leave feeling uplifted. I want people to feel better than they did when they walked through the door.’
