Applications are now open for the 2026/27 Monteverdi Apprentices Programme.
Monteverdi Choir & Orchestras (MCO) consists of three internationally renowned ensembles that lead the field of period performance: the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique. Its world-class musicians specialise in a variety of repertoire ranging from sacred music and chamber works to operas.

Established in 2007, the apprentices programme offers early-career singers the opportunity to perform with the renowned Monteverdi Choir and work alongside world-class musicians through concerts, international touring, coaching, masterclasses and career development workshops. Participants gain invaluable experience within a professional ensemble environment, helping bridge the gap between formal study and a sustainable career in music.
Applications close at 10am on Friday 12 June 2026, with auditions taking place in London on 6 July 2026. The programme runs from September 2026 to July 2027.
