Hackney Song Works

Hackney Song Works is a community choir based in Hackney, London, with a vibrant and varied repertoire and an inclusive ethos. It is led by Martina Schwarz who believes that singing is everybody's birthright. The songs are taught by ear, there is no need to be able to read music. The choir sings contemporary and traditional music from around the world.

Martina is an associated member of NVPN, Natural Voice Practitioners’ Network. Her own choral compositions have been performed at festivals such as The Totally Thames Festival (Sing for Water) and The Big Data Sing (UCL), in performances at RADA, the London Bubble Theatre and The New Factory of the Eccentric Actor.
