Sing UK (CIC) is a national, not-for-profit organisation commited to providing exceptional, quality singing opportunities - for young people in particular.

Working with partners in the field of education, music and community development, we create programmes to meet the needs and aspirations of local communities. Sing UK has at its heart a small and dedicated team with many years experience in music education and a passion for creating access and opportunity for all.

Education

Recent work has included a four-year project in Bedfordshire, "SingQuest", where we worked with every Lower, Middle and Special School in the county to establish a vibrant and continuing culture of singing in schools. Two projects in Worcestershire, in 2010 and 2011, saw us working with eight of the county's local authority secondary schools and the University of Worcester. 200 students formed a chorus to perform major choral works with the English Symphony Orchestra and professional soloists in Worcester Cathedral. A third such project will take place in the Spring Term 2012. For many of these young people, it was the first time they had sung in a choir of any kind, let alone on this scale, and with music from the classical choral repertoire. 

Events

We are proud to announce that in 2013 we shall be presenting the UK's first-ever international youth singing festival, in association with the European Choral Association - Europa Cantat. The Worcester International Festival for Young Singers (WIFYS) will take place from 19 - 27 July 2013, when around 400 young people will come to the UK in their choirs for a week-long festival, workshops and concerts, culminating in a Gala Concert in Worcester Cathedral and including the world premiere of a specially commissioned work from UK composer Bob Chilcott.
