Auditions

Auditions for the choir for the 2024/25 academic year are now open and will take place during the first week of the Autumn Term (the week commencing 23rd September). We have spaces available for sopranos, altos, tenors and basses.

Requirements

The choir attracts singers of a high musical standard.

Prospective scholars will ideally have some background in choral music at school or elsewhere, but this is not a requirement for auditioning. Familiarity with the Anglican choral tradition is desirable, but not essential.

Please see the role of a chorister for full details of what would be expected of you as a choral scholar.

Audition requirements are as follows:

• 2 contrasting pieces, prepared by the candidate
• Ear tests
• Psalm chanting – chanting Anglican and plainsong at sight
• Sight-singing tests

In addition to vocal quality, the expectations at audition are:

• exceptional sight singing skills
• general musicianship
• the ability to work to a high standard within a small group
