The Sixteen is seeking 22 young singers aged between 18 and 23 to take part in its pioneering and unique training programme, which aims to nurture students with exceptional musical ability and the potential to become professional ensemble singers.
The Sixteen's close partnership with the Genesis Foundation means that participants not only receive free tuition but also a bursary for all their UK travel, food and accommodation whilst participating in the programme.
Between August 2013 and July 2014 a series of four week-long and weekend courses will be led by key artists from The Sixteen, including conductor Harry Christophers and Associate Conductor Eamonn Dougan. The four courses offer participants comprehensive training in the fundamental principles of consort singing with an emphasis on ensemble, tuning, blend, sight-reading, communication, expression and the importance of co-operation.
Auditions will be held in London, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow during March 2013. Applications should be made by 18 January.
