It is entering a disciplined, structured and supportive musical environment that has shaped young singers for over five decades. Each year, a limited number of new choristers are invited to audition, and we look for young voices with potential, dedication and a genuine love for music.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a world class standard requires consistency and commitment. Rehearsals take place during school terms on Tuesdays from 18:30 to 20:30 and Saturdays from 09:00 to 13:00, with an extended rehearsal once per term from 09:00 to 17:00. Rehearsals are held at Goodwood Park Primary School in Goodwood. Choristers are expected to remain with the choir until the end of Grade 9 to support long term musical development and maintain the choir\u2019s standard. Regular attendance at rehearsals and performances is essential.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1771340365416{margin-top: 50px !important;}” conditional_render=”%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D” css_params=””][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Where Young Voices Develop With Purpose” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:var(–porto-tertiary-color)” use_theme_fonts=”yes” letter_spacing=”1px” css_params=”” css=”.vc_custom_1771340894784{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Why audition for

Below is a clear outline of the financial commitments associated with membership.[\/vc_column_text]
