At Choirfarm we’re currently carrying out new research into Choirfriendly Venues — supported by InnovateUK, the Government’s innovation agency. Findings will be published in November.

Visit https://choirfriendlyvenues.org to read about the project and contribute through our short surveys.

We’re collaborating with LIVE - whose members represent many of the UK’s leading live music venues and concert halls - and with Conveenie.com - an innovative community venue booking directory.

Alongside the venue's perspective, we want to hear directly from choir owners, event managers, promoters, MDs (professional and amateur), festival and competition organisers — and choir members themselves.

We’re running short Zoom interviews and hosting boardroom roundtables at the Barbican over a glass of wine, and everyone is welcome to take part.

Our aim is to share early findings with choirs and the venue industry in November, making transparent the challenges and opportunities for working more closely together. We hope this first project will also open the door to follow-on funding in collaboration with choirs and venues.

If you work to put on choir performances, or you work for venues, or somewhere in between, we’d love you to be part of this. Comment below if you’re interested, or email research(at)choirfarm.com for more details.

Did you know singing in a choir can work wonders for your immune system? 🤔🎶

According to research from the University of Frankfurt, choir singing not only elevates your mood but also increases levels of antibodies in your body. In a study, singers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A (an antibody critical for fighting infection) and cortisol, which helps regulate stress. It’s like a workout for your immune system—powered by music!

Plus, singing together releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” fostering deeper social connections. It’s the perfect combination of physical, emotional, and social health benefits.

Ready to feel the difference? Find your ideal choir with Choirslist and discover the joy of singing for yourself. Whether it’s pop, classical, or gospel, there’s a choir waiting for you.
