JOIN THE CHOIR

If you are interested in applying for a choral award or joining the choir as a volunteer, the Director of Music, Matthew Martin (precentor@cai.cam.ac.uk) is happy to hear from you at anytime.

Members of Caius Choir include undergraduates and postgraduates studying at Caius and at other colleges. Everyone receives weekly free singing lessons during term time (worth around £1000 per annum) with one of our college singing teachers: David Lowe and Kate Symonds-Joy. Choir members stay in College free of charge during vacations when undertaking choir activities (which include up to six feasts per year), and one or more foreign tours are provided free of charge each year. In addition, a fund exists to help singers wishing to take part in occasional master-classes or other vocal opportunities at any time of the year.

Caius undergraduates in the choir are known as Choral Scholars having applied through the Cambridge University Choral Award scheme - an official appointment made by the College to those who have already obtained an academic offer from Caius. Postgraduates coming to study at Caius can also apply to join the choir. The standard Award is £100 per annum.

Choir members studying at other Cambridge Colleges (undergraduates and postgraduates) are also welcome to apply to join the choir, please contact the Director of Music.

Organ Scholarships at Caius are run through the Cambridge University Organ Awards. Potential applicants are encouraged to arrange an informal audition with Matthew Martin during the year before applying to Cambridge.
