Previous BVA soloists' feedback:
'BVA provided a vital opportunity to showcase my skills in London, where I hope to work more in future. A professional live recording was made, which I'll use to apply for auditions. The top-level coaching, not only on the music, but exploring detailed nuances in the libretto, was deeply valuable.' Sarah Richmond
'The BVA atmosphere has been nurturing and demanding in the best way. We've been carefully guided to dig deeper in our interpretations, helping us to mine for meaning and subtext, without compromising the vocal demands of the music. Working with BVA has made me a better artist.' Charles Styles
'Preparing this role and working on portraying the character with Gary was fantastic. It was inspiring to share the stage with such brilliant colleagues, and the venue and audience were both great. Apply!' Chuma Sijeqa

Our Chorus rehearsals take place on two Sunday afternoons, and then on the afternoon of the concert day (usually a Tuesday), prior to the performance. If this is of interest to you. please contact us, telling us a little about yourself and why you’d like to sing with us.
