The Sixteen's young artists programme, Genesis Sixteen (supported by the Genesis Foundation) is in its seventh year and has so far worked with over 100 participants. These are young singers (aged 18-23) who have their talents as ensemble singers nurtured via a series of week-long and weekend courses are led by key figures from The Sixteen, including group tuition, individual mentoring and master-classes; participants receive free tuition and a bursary to cover all additional costs.
Benedict Preece is the Genesis Sixteen Conducting Scholar for 2017-18.
Applications for the 2018-19 group will open in November 2017.
