We are now in full swing preparing for our upcoming CD recording and UK tour. Auditions have been held for the touring choir, however we are still interested to hear from able singers who can familiarise themselves with new repertoire rapidly.
We continue to seek funding and sponsorship towards our UK tour and a number of other projects. The different ways in which you can support or sponsor us can be reviewed on our support page.

Although the choir was unable to accept the invitation to The World Choir Olympics, planning is now underway for a tour to Europe in Aug/Sept 2005. The tour will include performing in a showcase concert at the annual convention and 20th anniversary celebrations of the Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD) at the Guildford University and Gildford Cathedral, Surrey, UK.
The choir is currently seeking funding to contribute towards this trip and the purchase of uniforms. You can help us by becoming a member of the Graduate Choir Support Network. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a corporate sponsor.
Auditions are currently being held for the touring choir.

The Classic Sing Grand Prix has been a great success for the choir. The Male Voice Chorus won a Gold award in their "Equal Voices" section, and The Graduate Choir won a Gold Award in their "Mixed Voices" section as well as winning the overall "Grand Prix".
As a result of these wins, The Graduate Choir has been invited to attend The World Choir Olympics, to be held in Germany, in July 2004, and the Conference of the British Choral Society in 2005. It is not yet known whether the choir will be able to take up either of these invitations.
