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.

The deadline for applications is 5.00pm on Friday 27th August.

Manchester HeartEdge Carol Service

Do watch the beautiful Carol Service celebrating the beginning of the central Manchester HeartEdge hub partnership. The service was recorded in Sacred Trinity Church and can be viewed at http://youtu.be/jxSLsh4DRKY.

It has been a joy to work with the Bishop of Manchester, Diocese of Manchester, St Anns Church Manchester, Sacred Trinity Salford, The Ascension Hulme, and HeartEdge Voices and Andrew Earis not only on this very special carol service but also on establishing the HeartEdge hub partnership in central Manchester.

God of hope, we pray for a future where the partnership between The Ascension, St Ann’s and Sacred Trinity enables your love to be seen and shared in central Manchester. Inspire and enable all at these churches to see new ways to show your love to others and to support one another. Bless the work of HeartEdge and the Diocese of Manchester in their work with these parishes that your love may be stretched into a future which sees renewal in central Manchester and beyond. Amen.
