Temple Church is an exciting and vibrant place for music in the heart of London. The Choral Scholarship scheme is aimed at aspiring professional singers about to embark on a music career who are looking for guidance, support, and a dynamic place to sing regularly as part of their journey from student to professional. The scholarship is intended for those who have completed their degree training, as well as exceptional candidates in the final stages of their undergraduate studies. This programme is an opportunity for four scholars (one of each voice part: soprano, alto, tenor, bass) to play an active part in the activities of the Temple Church Choirs whilst learning from our team of professional singers, and receiving training. The programme at Temple encompasses a broad range of activities including two choirs, choral services, an ambitious concert schedule, a youth choir, and an outreach programme to primary schools. The two church choirs additionally sing at memorial services, weddings and several concerts a year. This scholarship is an opportunity to be led and supported through the experience of working in a busy and varied professional environment. Scholars will sing regularly as part of our two choirs: Temple Church Choir (made up of trebles and a back row of professional ATB) and Temple Singers (sopranos and professional ATB).
