RSCM Voices
As part of the RSCM’s work in promoting singing for people of all ages, the RSCM Voices groups exist as training choirs to sing services and other events to a high musical standard in cathedrals, churches and other venues throughout England.
NEWS: There are opportunities for talented young singers – boys, girls and adults – to join the RSCM Voices choirs in the 2011/2012 season. Applications from counter-tenors are especially welcome! Full details and application forms for these choirs are available via the three links below.
There are currently three choirs:

Members of the choirs pay an annual subscription, though concessions are available for RSCM Individual Members and family groups. Young people and those in full time education may apply for bursary assistance. The Bursary Application form can be downloaded below and, when completed, should be returned to the Director of the choir concerned.
