New College Oxford Chapel Services Michaelmas Term 2014
The Organist, Robert Quinney, is always happy to hear of potential choristers in school years 1 and 2, and gives informal advice throughout the year. Formal auditions take place in January for boys in year 2 for the choir s probationer programme which starts in year 3. The Chorister Open Day in mid-june provides an introduction to chorister life and to New College School, where choristers receive generous bursaries. The Organist also welcomes contact with senior-school musicians interested in applying for a choral award at New College. The Sixth-Form Singing Scheme offers young singers an opportunity to sing Evensong during University Term and to talk to choir staff and current choral scholars. All information about choristerships and choral scholarships, as well as the Music List, Term Card, and details of concerts and recordings, can be found on the choir s website www.newcollegechoir.com. For more details and to contact the Organist, please email the Chapel Administrator on nancy-jane.rucker@new.ox.ac.uk.
