The Choir with no name, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2018, is a choir aimed at people ‘affected by homelessness’, who may possibly be less likely to join a regular community choir.

This report was written as the final project for the year 2017/18 at Trinity Laban and Open University by a participant on the Certificate in the Practice of Music Making.

The author of the report joined the choir for three months and participated in every aspect, from rehearsals, dinners, a meeting to a gig. The author chatted to the members, sang with them and talked to the choir leader and manager about everything from the ethos of the choir, to whether meat was served often enough at the meal provided after each rehearsal.
