Led by Sally Davies and based in Hackney, the Wing-It Singers is a world music choir of around 35 people. We have an eclectic repertoire ranging from Georgian polyphony to English folk, renaissance Spanish part-songs to contemporary compositions and many languages and genres besides. About Us…
Previous concert…
We’re pleased to report that, following our Cornucopia of Songs concert on 8 December we’ve made a donation of £1,000 to Hackney Migrant Centre.
We raised a fair amount through shaking buckets at the event, thanks to the generosity of our audience, and then we topped this up with a donation from the proceeds of our ticket sales.

Here’s a little clip from our concert – a reminder that “we are closer to spring than we were in September”.
We look forward to singing for you again in 2025.

Recent performances…
We were privileged to participate in Voices That Wander – a choral project curated by Lydia Samuels and supported by Arts Council England celebrating interconnected Jewish and Arabic music of the Middle East and North Africa, singing songs in both Ladino and Arabic.
In two concerts held in July and October 2024 we performed new arrangements of traditional Ladino songs by Sally Davies, and brand new choral compositions by composer Lydia Samuels. We were joined by amazing guest soloists including, once again Saied Silbak and Ana Silvera.

Trip to Brittany
In May 2023 a group of Wing-It Singers visited Brittany on the return leg of our ‘choir exchange’ with the Choeur de Haute Vilaine.
We had a wonderful time being looked after by very lovely French hosts, and we sang together in the church of Noyal-sur-Vilaine, near Rennes.
Here are some photos from our trip.
