Choral Scholar (SATB)

HCS Choral Scholar Scheme 'Voices of the Future' for the 2025-2026 season.

Henley Choral Society is a 100-strong well established non-auditioned chorus in beautiful Henley on Thames. We aim to sing to the highest standard and have lots of fun doing so. As part of our charitable mission to support young singers we have now launched our 'Voices of the Future' Choral Scholar Scheme for the 2025-2026 season.  The scholarships are open to singers aged 18-30, or students in full or part time music education. They are ideal for aspiring professional singers looking to develop their choral singing and sight-reading capabilities and broaden their experience and repertoire.

 Singers can apply for one of four choral scholarships (SATB) for the year. Choral scholars attend weekly rehearsals in central Henley-on-Thames on Monday evenings 7.30pm-9.30pm in term time, in addition to three core performances a year, and additional rehearsals and sectionals ahead of performances. Scholars are expected to help support their sections, take an active role in social media and support Henley Choral Society in our ambition to raise our standards, share the joy of choral music and support the next generation of singers.   Choral scholars receive a fee of £1200 for the year, plus music provision.

 Interested singers are welcome to join us for a rehearsal which start again on Monday 1st Sept.

Auditions and interviews will take place in September 2025.

Application deadline 12th September.
