Our popular Summer School is renowned for its diversity of pieces, giving choral singers the opportunity to expand your repertoire and explore unsung territory on your musical journey.
Each ‘mini course’ lasts only two weeks, allowing you to take part while still enjoying everything summer has to offer (or winter for those in the Southern Hemisphere!).
Summer School 2024 begins on Monday 10 June and our marvellous Musical Director Ben England will lead us through a variety of choral treats during June, July and August. Here's what we have in store:

Our Summer School pieces often end up in our Hall of Fame and so often we hear, “I wish I'd taken part in that one.” Don’t miss out - join us for a spectacular summer of singing!
