Choral Scholarships
Crown Court choir is seeking four choral scholars (Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass) from September 2025 for one year, with progression to a second year possible, subject to a review with the Director of Music. These scholarships may be of particular interest to students (of any subject) or recent graduates.

Candidates should have some experience of singing in a liturgical context, and be confident singing at sight. Auditions will involve performance of a prepared piece, sight-reading and an interview.
