The Complaints Choir

The Complaints Choir is an international art project that invites participants to transform moaning into something great and powerful.

Created by artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen with composition by Jennifer John, the choir performed their complaints in public spaces across the city.

After publishing an open call to members of the public, the choir was formed in collaboration with FACT’s Over 60s group, The Digital Ambassadors. with the work produced culminating in four special performances at FACT, Liverpool Lime Street Station and Granby Market.

Since the first organised choir in Birmingham in 2005, the project has travelled around the world, bringing together people’s complaints in Helsinki, Melbourne, and Hong Kong

For the project, Jennifer John composed the piece Rude People.
