Organ and Choral Scholarships


Portsmouth Cathedral Choir and The Portsmouth Grammar School offer unique opportunities for an Organ Scholar, altos, tenors and basses for the academic year 2024/25.

Opportunities exist for gap year students (pre or post University) to spend a year working with the Portsmouth Cathedral Choirs, whilst working as departmental assistants at one of the country’s leading co-educational schools, The Portsmouth Grammar School. The year involves daily choral worship in the Cathedral, major concerts and BBC broadcasts, choir tours (Iceland 2019, Finland 2020, Sweden 2023) and CD recordings.

Recent Portsmouth scholars now sing in Westminster Cathedral Choir, Westminster Abbey Choir, King’s College Cambridge and New College Oxford, as well as Winchester Cathedral and York Minster Choirs and with major UK groups such as the Monteverdi Choir, Stille Antico and The Sixteen.

  • Regular vocal tuition provided.
