About Chorus
Chorus is a creative agency producing powerful, theatrical & strategic live & digital experiences. www.chorus.london
We are a band of creatives, designers, producers and technical experts with backgrounds in live performance, both on and behind the stage.

We bring experience and edge: combining knowledge and flawless production with challenging the status quo and always pushing creativity to a new level.
