Music that stirs the soul … offering choral singing to everyone in the Diocese of Manchester 
Our diocese has partnered with St-Martin-in-the-Fields, London, to bring inspiring music to local churches. This collaboration includes choral scholarships, which provide aspiring professional choral singers the opportunity to train together and perform in services, as well as community and children's choirs.
The full details of dates, times, and venues are now available in the Spring Schedule, which was released this week. Everyone is welcome to attend these services, with no need for prior booking.
The Choral Scholars will be performing at various churches across the diocese, including Oldham Parish Church, St Paul's Withington, St Hilda's and St Stephen's in Audenshaw, and Holy Innocents in Fallowfield. They will also take part in an upcoming DreamSpace evening at Sacred Trinity Church, Salford.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of these services. The short film below provides an insight into the talent of this year's scholars.
