The Junior Choral Courses offer unique opportunities to children aged 8 - 15 to experience choral singing at a very high level. The course staff are all accomplished singers, and their voices join the young people to enable them to sing some of the great choral repertoire for four voices alongside excellent music written for the students’ higher voices.
Head to our ‘What it’s like on a Junior Choral Course’ page to read more about what you sing during the week and other useful information like what you’ll eat and all the other things you’ll get up to!
During the week the young singers will work hard at a range of music, both with their sectional tutors and as a whole group. Free time is equally important and a wide range of activities is organised every afternoon, with a strong emphasis on fun! Click here to read some previous students’ diaries from last year.
The culmination of the course is the final concert, which will combine a major work from the choral repertoire and lighter music.
