Long Covid Choir
Join us each Wednesday for weekly sessions of breathing exercises, singing (on mute!) and an optional chat. We welcome people with Long Covid or their direct care givers, wherever you are in the world. Long Covid Choir was formed in March 2021 by people with Long Covid to bring some light in the darkness to others living with the debilitating effects of the condition.
Accessible even to those who may be housebound or bedridden, our friendly and informal weekly online sessions (and the all-important chats afterward!) have been good for our hearts, lungs, and souls.
We sing a variety of musical styles. There are no auditions, no singing experience is required, and there is no need to be able to read music.
Singing together has brought joy and friendship as we navigate the life-changing experience of Long Covid.
It's time to find our voice again.
As a separate entity to Long Covid UK, we have our own privacy policy. You can view it here.
