Filament Chorus Online

Rivington Pike our latest film, featuring members of Filament Chorus Online, and funded by the Peoples Postcode Lottery.

During Lockdown 1, Filament’s Isolation Chorus met on Friday mornings and Tuesday evenings to sing with past, present and new collaborators. It felt incredibly important to get together, if only virtually. We improvised, played games, SUNG and took the opportunity to check in with each other. We found ways to record and film our work – you can see three of our pieces reimagined as part of Kings Cross’ Cubitt Digital Sessions, produced by Tête à Tête Opera and Arts Trust HERE .

During Lockdown 2, the chorus was renamed Filament Chorus Online, and received support from The People’s Postcode Lottery. It continued to run online and then in person when we could meet together. Rivington Pike (featured above) was created by members of the chorus during the spring and summer of 2021, with film editing by Martin Collins and music editing by Tom Stone.

With the end of lockdown, Filament Chorus has evolved into a project-based choir.
