Seniors Christmas Course

About the course

The Seniors’ course is designed for children aged 13+ who would like to advance their singing skills further, and have some experience of repertoire for full SATB choir. It is an ideal compliment to other musical activities – training key skills such as ensemble, pitching, harmonic awareness and music appreciation. To that end, we have chosen a variety of straightforward, four-voice works which are fun and challenging. As well as upper voices, we are happy to take boys’ voices which are changing, and our coaches are experienced in dealing with young voices.
 
Spaces are limited. 

About the venue

St Catharine’s College was founded in 1473 and is situated in the historic city-centre of Cambridge, just south of King’s College and across the street from Corpus Christi College. The college is notable for its open court (rather than closed quadrangle) that faces towards Trumpington Street.

St Catharine’s boasts a fine musical tradition and the rites of the Church of England are enriched by the excellent contribution of the Choir and Organ Scholars. The three-manual organ is one of the finest instruments in Cambridge today and the Chapel is a popular venue for recitals and other performances.
