An Evening with the Choral Scholars of St Martin-in-the-Fields

Apply for the HeartEdge Manchester Choral Scholarships 2021-22

The HeartEdge Manchester Choral Scholarships 2021-22 are a new initiative of stimulating and educative choral training based in the heart of Manchester at St Ann’s Church. The scheme is aimed at choral singers wishing to embark on a professional career in singing. The Choral Scholarships provide an opportunity for nine singers to enjoy an intensive, focused period of development alongside others of a similar standard and interests whilst contributing to a thriving tradition of musical excellence in the city centre parish of St Ann’s Church.

The Choral Scholarships are part of a collaborative project between the Diocese of Manchester and the St Martin-in-the-Fields HeartEdge Network. The main focus of the scholarship will be regular services at St Ann’s on Saturdays during term-time, as well as musical activities at Sacred Trinity Salford and the Hub Church of Ascension, Hulme.

The Choral Scholarship programme is overseen by Andrew Earis, Director of Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields, working with a range of guest conductors and expert choral workshop leaders.

Applications for the HeartEdge Manchester Choral Scholarships 2021-22 are now open! More information can be found on the Choral Scholarship Information Document.

Please complete the application form and send, along with a current CV, by email to Ailsa Campbell, HeartEdge Manchester Choral Scholarships Coordinator, at music@heartedgemanchester.org.
