The RSCM Residentiary Choir is training course choir who visit a UK cathedral every summer for a week choral performance, training, and coaching. Next week, they are heading to Guildford Cathedral. The Residentiary Choir is one of the ways in which the RSCM lives out its mission to enable the flourishing of church music. Individual vocal coaching is included as an integral part of the Residentiary Choir, and the choir sings a wide range of music of all periods. Many singers in the choir this year are leading singers or choir trainers of their home choir, and benefit from an intensive week of study under professional trainers and singing in the company of others.

The choir will be singing a range of music including Kerensa Briggs’ Gloucester Service, Cecilia McDowall’s Missa Brevis (‘Tongues of Fire’), and the Stanford Responses arranged by Jeremy Dibble (published by RSCM).
