Following the successful inauguration of our scholarship scheme, Chiswick Choir, a Choral Society, is inviting altos to apply for one of four annual scholarships starting in January 2020. The successful candidate will be expected to attend weekly rehearsals on Tuesday evenings from 8-10pm at St Michael's Church Centre, Elmwood Road W4 3DZ, in addition to around three performances a year. The scholarships are open to singers aged 18-30, or students in full or part-time music education.
Our choral scholarships are ideal for aspiring professional singers wishing to develop their choral singing and sight-reading, or in preparation for university choral scholarships, and as a means of broadening repertoire knowledge. Scholarships run for a year and are worth £750. There will be occasional solo/quartet/semi-chorus opportunities, and also a chance for scholars to receive coaching from the choir's Music Director Hilary Campbell. Scholars are expected to take an active role with social media for the ensemble, and generally support the endeavours of Chiswick Choir.
We stage at least three major concerts a year, often with professional orchestras and soloists. We have an auditioned membership of 90-100 singers drawn from the London area.
