‘I doubt whether there are many more admirable choirs outside Westminster, Oxford and Cambridge than the Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum. On Tewkesbury’s new Christmas disc, “The Three Kings”, Nicholas’s choir give proof yet again of the qualities that place them firmly in the front rank: flair, acumen, versatility and poise.’ Church Times, December 2007
‘It is very hard not to use superlatives when speaking of Ben Nicholas and his choir at Tewkesbury Abbey, and once again I fail. This is yet another quite outstanding disc of the highest standard.’ Choir Schools Today 2008
‘.... an outstanding performance. This is a magnificent disc.’ Choir & Organ, July 2010
Chorister scholarship and bursaries We audition children for chorister scholarship from age 7 to 11.
All external pupils will be asked to sit a Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English paper.
Candidates will need to bring a piece of music of their own choice which can be of any style they like - or just a hymn - but something they feel confident to sing.
They will be required to do some aural tests and will be asked to sing a few scales. They will be given some simple exercises to explore their vocal range.
Successful candidates will become probationary choristers. They will also be encouraged to take up an instrument and to become fully integrated members of school taking advantage of everything that a Dean Close education has to offer. A full scholarship of 25% can be topped up with a bursary.
