Young Singers Choral Scholarship Programme

London Oriana Choir has launched a third year of its successful Choral Scholarship Programme, offering a select number of funded places for singers aged 18-25 for its 2023-24 season, as part of its commitment to support aspiring young singers.

​

This will include taking part in the Choir’s 50th Anniversary Gala Concert with some special guests, a concert collaboration with award winning ensemble The Gesualdo Six, and performing works by several women composers as part of the Choir’s commitment to the Keychange initiative. There is also the potential for some external engagements as well as a residential weekend and weekend tours to Liverpool and Paris.

​

It's a great opportunity to join one of Britain’s leading choral groups and one of the most exciting and versatile in London, performing in the capital, around the UK and abroad.  

​

The scheme is open to anyone who enjoys singing, whether those studying music, starting your music careers or simply wanting to expand your singing and performance opportunities.

​

​The choir’s repertoire is broad-ranging, from early music through the great choral works to contemporary commissions, often accompanied by professional orchestras. We have also worked with some of the world’s biggest names in the industry including Madonna, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and Pete Townshend of The Who. The choir performed in the world première of his ‘Classic Quadrophenia’ with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Alfie Boe at the Royal Albert Hall to critical acclaim, as well as recording the piece for release on Deutsche Grammophon.

​

​Successful candidates will be able to join the choir from early November, in time to take part in its two Christmas concerts at St James's Piccadilly as well as other seasonal festivities.​

​

Sounds interesting? Then complete the application form and submit a short video of you singing as the first stage of the audition process - simply using your mobile phone is fine. If successful, you will then be asked to take part in a virtual session with musical director  Dominic Ellis-Peckham for final judging.
