Declining music provision in schools and increasing financial barriers for parents mean that opportunities to participate in high-quality choral singing are becoming harder to access. From children's first experience of ensemble singing to young musicians' transition into a professional career, talented singers increasingly need support to continue their musical development.

Each year the St Martin's Voices Emerging Artists Programme supports six talented early-career singers as they make the crucial transition from education and training into professional performance careers. In addition every year 25 children are provided with professional-level musical training – completely free of charge – while fostering lasting friendships and enjoying unforgettable experiences, such as performing in our annual sold-out Christmas concerts and recording for Classic FM.
