Job Introduction
The BBC Singers
As a vital resource in the BBC's music output, the BBC Singers hold a unique position in British musical life. Performing everything from Monteverdi to Mvula, Tallis to Takemitsu, their versatility is second to none.
As current holders of the coveted Ensemble Award at the 2024 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards, the choir's unrivalled expertise in performing the latest contemporary scores and music from all genres of choral repertoire has brought about creative relationships with some of the most important composers and conductors of the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition, their flexibility and agility has seen then collaborate with artists across many genres in recent years, including with Laura Mvula, Katie Melua, Clare Teal, Abel Selaocoe, Shiva Feshareki, South Asian dance company Akademi, world music fusion band Kabantu and with choreographer Duane Taylor and artists from East London Dance.
Based at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, the BBC Singers perform all over the UK and abroad, working regularly with the BBC's own orchestras, as well as a number of period-instrument and contemporary music ensembles. Equally at home on the concert platform as in the recording studio, this world-class ensemble is committed to sharing its enthusiasm and creative expertise through its nationwide education programme. This includes regular collaborations with schoolchildren, youth choirs and the amateur choral community, as well as with the professional composers, singers and conductors of tomorrow.
