Interfaith choir to ‘sing walk and talk’ through London’s places of worship
People of all different faiths are going on a musical tour around north London's places of worship
Jack Mendel is the former Online Editor at the Jewish News.
A choir composed of people from all different faiths will ‘sing walk and talk’ through London on a musical tour of places of worship.
The ‘Mixed Up Chorus’ will lead a musical tour across north London this Sunday, beginning at St Mary’s Church Primrose Hill at 11.30, before heading to the Liberal Jewish Synagogue an hour later, and finishing at London Central Mosque by 2.30.
Eli Tamir, who coordinates the choir, said: “The Mixed Up Chorus believes that if we sing next to each other we’ll live well next to each other. Our ‘Sing Walk Talk’ event is a great opportunity to show that we’re better united than divided, and to celebrate London’s amazing diversity.”
“The walk is also raising funds for the choir, enabling the Mixed Up Chorus to reach further in its mission to bring people together through music.”
In addition to performing songs from around the world, they will feature an interfaith singing workshop led by musical director Jeremy Haneman, and have invited participants to join at any point in the tour.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
