Young Singers' Scholarship

The Solihull Chandos Choir is keen to encourage young people to get involved with choral singing, and so have established a Young Singers' Scholarship which has helped many young people to develop their singing since it started in 1997.

Interviews

We are happy to consider anyone who applies during the year, but to take full advantage of the experience, we would like applications as soon as possible in time for the start of the season in September.  For this you will need the support of whoever is responsible for your music teaching and also your parents.  If you wish to be considered, we ask that you attend a few rehearsals.  You will then be given an informal audition when you will be asked to sing a piece of music of your choice.
