A limited number of places have become available for Cambridge Choral Academy 4-10 August 2024- including a soprano spot. Cambridge UK is the probably the most intensive square mile of choral singing on the planet, and Cambridge Choral Academy presents the opportunity to experience this extraordinary world from the inside, staying in a Cambridge college and living as a choral scholar for a week over the summer.

Join singers from all over the world for a six-day course (allowing for Sunday commitments of church musicians) immersed in glorious music and all the delights that Cambridge colleges have to offer. We’ll sing in exquisite chapels under world-class directors, with candle-lit services, a formal dinner, a chauffeured punt down the River Cam, a choral wine-tasting – good music, good friends, good times.

We’re delighted that our faculty team this year be joined by Peter Phillips (Director: The Tallis Scholars) for a workshop and fireside chat with Artistic Director Dr Edward Wickham. Other tutors include Sarah MacDonald, Nicholas Danks, Nicholas Morris and Matthew Gouldstone.

This deep immersion in Cambridge choral life includes beautiful Evensongs and tranquil Complines with a repertoire of exquisite music spanning chant, psalmody, Renaissance polyphony, masterpieces of the 20th century and choral music from living composers. Chapels include St Catharine’s, Corpus Christi, Sidney Sussex and Trinity Colleges. This is also an opportunity to develop your voice with 1-2-1 singing lessons tailored for you, and to nurture your vocal health with daily sessions to sustain your voice. Part of the fun is of course breaking bread together, and we’ll enjoy delicious food prepared by a team of St Catharine’s chefs and wines from the College cellar – plus the opportunity for warm camaraderie and building new friendships with people who share your passion for singing.
