Deadline for applications – June 10th 2021

Manchester is a vibrant city and a centre of excellence for the arts and for music in particular. Participants on the course can either choose to stay on site at Chetham’s, with full board and accommodation, be non resident or a virtual participant or observer. NB It is possible for participants to come on the course for as few or as many days as they wish. Due to the enormous popularity of the course however, anyone planning  to arrive or leave outside of the standard course dates for each part will need to find accommodation outside of the school. There are many hotels in Manchester to suit all budgets, many within walking distance of the school.

A team of  residential staff will provide pastoral care throughout the course for all minors. All participants at the Summer School are most welcome to bring their families and friends along as observers (see special rates). Because the faculty and facilities at Chetham’s are so large, it is possible for the Summer School to accommodate a wide ability and age range.
