Music Scholarships in Brief
Music has been at the centre of life at St Pancras Church across its history. We have been the home of London Festival of Contemporary Church Music and we have hosted and supported other religious and secular music in services and in concerts. We are now please to launch a scholars’ scheme to continue, to enhance and to develop music at St Pancras.
Funding is available for four singing scholarships (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and one organ & piano scholarship for musicians at an early stage in their careers. Scholars will work with the clergy and under a director of music.
Our Singing Scholars sing will every week on Sunday morning and sing at all the church festivals (subject to agreed term and vacation periods). As St Pancras Church expands its weekly pattern of services, they will also sing up to ten afternoon or evening services and take it in turns (solo or duet) to perform and lead during other weekday evening services.
The Organ & Piano Scholar will play in church on Sunday mornings and will perform and accompany singing scholars at other services.
Inaugural scholars will be appointed to train and perform between October 2025 and July 2026. Scholars will each be in receipt of scholarships worth £2,800 per annum, paid in instalments.
We aim for our scholars to have experience of SATB choral singing and also to reflect a wide range of musical backgrounds. There will be opportunity for scholars to present concerts in the church and, to participate in our programme of lunchtime recitals.
St Pancras Church also works closely with St James’s Piccadilly and it is envisaged that there will be opportunities for the scholars from each church to sing and perform together during the year.
St Pancras Church seeks to be representative of people and communities across society. We actively welcome applications from people who are currently underrepresented in our community, including people with global majority heritage, people with lived experience of poverty and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
