Choral Scholarship

Southern Voices are excited to announce our Choral Scholarship programme. This is an opportunity for young singers to sing with us, all expenses paid, thanks to generous sponsorship by the D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust.

We have already recruited two fine soprano scholars singing with us this year. For next year, we are looking to introduce one choral scholar into each voice parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass). Applications are open till June 2025, with candidates auditioning in July 2025.

Friends Programme

If you come to our concerts, you might consider signing up for our new Friends Programme. Becoming a Friend of Southern Voices allows you to join our community and support us in continuing to deliver choral music you enjoy.

Benefits of joining include complimentary tickets, priority booking, free drinks at the interval and invitation to special events with the choir and musical director.
