The Sixteen continues to invest in a number of dynamic education and outreach projects
with the aim of engaging further with its current audience and also developing a new
one. The ethos of access and support runs throughout their thriving education
programme.
During the tour, The Sixteen invite those who enjoy choral music, of all ages and
backgrounds, to join in through the Choral Workshop Series. This year, the choir
undertakes eight workshops to give keen amateur singers an opportunity to explore a
selection of music inspired by its 19th Choral Pilgrimage programme.
The workshops include advice on vocal technique, as well as performance
interpretation and historical context all under the guidance of Associate Conductor
Eamonn Dougan and singer and practical scholar Sally Dunkley.
Throughout the Choral Pilgrimage tour the education team, spend a 5-day residency in
Carlisle, Manchester and Truro with animateur Sam Glazer and singers from Genesis
Sixteen, its free choral training programme for singers aged 18-23.
