BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Hymns and Hers: Feminist Choirs and Radical CarolsClose menu

Verity Sharp is joined by Jenny Moore to uncover the feminist history of choral music.

Jenny Moore, leader of the collective F*choir, joins Verity Sharp to discuss the feminist history of choral music. Plus, alternative carols from Polynesia to North Derbyshire.

There has been a blossoming of radical, all-female choirs in the UK over the last five years. The electronic drone choir NYX explore extended vocal techniques playing alongside the likes of Gazelle Twin and Hatis Noit, female collective Deep Throat release music on Bella Union, and all-gender feminist collective F*Choir use their platform to raise money for Action for Trans Health.

Why now? Verity Sharp is joined by Jenny Moore, leader of F*choir, to discuss this renewed interest in collective singing and to play pieces which explore the feminist history of choral music. Elsewhere we mark the season Late Junction style, with alternative carols from Polynesia, Phil Minton’s Feral Choir and a choir of pub-goers in North Derbyshire.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
