Cambridge Choral Academy’s residential choral courses are a chance to experience the rich choral life of Cambridge UK from the inside. Staying in beautiful Cambridge colleges and singing in glorious historic chapels, these choral courses offer an enriching combination of singing workshops, music education, vocal health sessions and warm camaraderie. We welcome singers from all over the world to sing Evensong and Compline services under world class choral directors, to tap into the expertise of leading musical academics and to immerse yourself in the life of this iconic choral capital.
Cambridge is home to choirs of international repute, chapels with sumptuous acoustics, and a wealth of musical expertise – a unique environment for choral singing. If you have a passion for choral music, why not join us for a unique experience on one of our residential choral courses right in the heart of Cambridge, including complementary cultural and educational talks and visits. Our repertoire spans early music, chant and Tudor music right through to living choral composers.Â
Cambridge Choral Academy choral courses are also a chance to join a community of like-minded friends founded on a love for choral music – or to get together with existing singing friends for some quality time away. Good music, good food and wine, and good company!
Choral Summer Schools
 29 July – 5 August 2023 at St Catharine’s College
Our choral summer schools for adults are a very special, week-long immersion in Cambridge choral life, singing in a range of college chapels under different directors. We’ll enjoy beautiful Evensongs and tranquil Complines with a repertoire of exquisite music spanning chant, psalmody, renaissance polyphony, luminous masterpieces of the 20th century and choral music from living composers. A week in Cambridge wouldn’t be complete without tasting wines from the college cellars, punting and a pint in the famous Eagle pub… join us?
Singing Retreats
Next course: 14-16 April 2023 at King’s College
Our Singing Retreats are short residential choral courses offering the chance to spend an inspiring weekend in a Cambridge college, singing glorious music in glorious chapels. You’ll enjoy good food and wine, and meeting new friends who share your passion for choral music. Great music, great food and great company await you!
