Each year, the ORA Singers 2025 Young Composers programme welcomes 50 students who will receive free coaching in choral composition. Successful applicants are enrolled as either Young Composers or Apprentices.

Ten Young Composers will receive up to ten hours of one-to-one mentoring with a professional composer, who will develop the skills of each composer as they help them write a brand new choral work. During the scheme, Young Composers’ ideas will be workshopped by ORA's professional singers, who will perform and record their pieces at the end of the scheme; a panel of industry experts will also give the composers detailed feedback and advice.
