Since the beginning, our founding principle as a charity has been to ensure that up-and-coming singers have access to fairly paid performance opportunities. Our support also takes many other forms – from professional advice and networking opportunities with industry experts, to mentorship from top singers and coaches. Our young artists help to ensure that new generations of singers and classical music lovers are continually being inspired through participation in our outreach programme.

None of this would be possible without the help of our Supporters, who enable us to provide financial support, prizes, fair pay and pastoral care. We would like to invite you to support the professional development of the next generation of singers we believe have the talent to succeed in this competitive industry!
