Applications open for Genesis Sixteen 2014-15

Wednesday, 20 November 2013

Now in its fourth year, the Genesis Foundation is delighted to announce that applications for Genesis Sixteen 4 (class of 2014-15) are now open. There are 22 places available for young singers aged between 18 and 23. During the course of a year, a series of week-long and weekend courses are led by key figures from The Sixteen, including founder and conductor Harry Christophers and Associate Conductor Eamonn Dougan. Through the support of the Genesis Foundation participants not only receive free tuition but also a bursary to cover their travel, food and accommodation costs whilst taking part in the programme. Full details can be found in the Genesis Sixteen section of the website.

Genesis Sixteen is the UK’s first ever fully-funded programme of its kind and alumni from the first two years have already had much success since graduating. Many are now performing, recording and touring with professional groups, including The Sixteen. A number of them have set up their own choirs and are gaining a strong reputation on the professional music circuit.

Applications for the 2014-15 group are now open.
