The Chorus is offering generous prizes in the second of an exciting competition which we first launched in 2022. Budding young composers are invited to submit a short choral work for us to sing in at least four parts. The competition is open to people from 18 to 35 inclusive who were born, lived or studied in Sheffield. The winner will receive £1,500 and their work will be premiered at the next festival on Sunday 23 March 2025, along with new works by established composer Stephen Johnston and Faure’s beautiful Requiem. Applicants can choose between two texts specially commissioned for the competition by award-winning poets Katharine Towers and Susie Wilson, who are both alto members of the choir. .
