Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Join a free concert of Renaissance Venetian music by the Fourth Choir, London's LGBT + chamber choir, led by conductor Dominic Ellis-Peckham. Prior to the concert, curator Matthew Storey will give a short talk on "Opera and Queer". In this special performance in the V&A's Medieval Tapestry Gallery, The Fourth Choir will perform highlights from their recent Chiesa dOro concert. The Church of Gold has been the affectionate nickname of St Marks Basilica in Venice for centuries and the Fourth Choir will be singing works by composers who lived or studied in Venice when the Venetian Republic was at the height of its power and influence in the 16th and 17th centuries.
