Yorkshire Bach Choir

We are now accepting applications for our choral scholarship scheme for 2025/26. The 12-month scholarships will be open to all four voice parts.

  • Funding: £500 (to be paid in 2 instalments, one in December, one in June)
  • Academic year: 2025/26
  • Open to: International (including EU) and UK (home) students
  • Qualification level: Postgraduate research, Postgraduate taught and Undergraduate

Benefits of being a choral scholar:

  • Performance opportunities: As a part of the choir you will take part in our full concert series and have the opportunity to sing in our wide range of choral repertoire.
  • Solo opportunities: As a part of the choir you may have the opportunity to take on challenging step-out solos collaborating with our conductor and the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists.
  • Financial support: We understand that being at university and finding the time for activities often requires financial support. That's why YBC provides £500 (to be paid in 2 instalments, one in December and one in June) to each choral scholar, ensuring that your focus remains on your musical journey.
