A workshop for the community and for interested members is held at the end of the spring term and a concert is held at the end of the summer term and the autumn term. The choir has been in existence since 2009. Following a dip in members due to the pandemic, the number of members has been slowly increasing and this remains the focus of the trustees. The current membership is 30. The choir has performed at venues including Wigmore Hall, The Roundhouse and Paddington Central, as well as at a local venues such as Maida Hill Market Place, Paddington Library, City of Westminster College and a number of local churches and community settings.
