Our inaugural Youth Summer School explores the extraordinary richness of the English choral tradition, from the music of Byrd and the renaissance through to Britten and the 20th century.

Across six days, singers will:

  • sing outstanding choral repertoire and develop their musicianship;

  • work with highly experienced music teachers and professional musicians;

  • sing Choral Evensong at Salle Church;

  • perform in a public concert in Norwich Cathedral;

  • make the most of Langley School’s outstanding facilities through organised activities and free time unwind with other singers

  • enjoy delicious and nutritious food through family-style mealtimes

  • meet like-minded young singers and make new friendships.

Broadside Summer School is for singers aged 13–18 at the start of the course who want to develop as musicians, challenge themselves and share a memorable week of music, connection and community.
