The Rodolfus Foundation

The Rodolfus Foundation is a charity committed to choral singing education. We run residential singing courses for young people: the Junior Courses are for children aged 8-15 and the Choral Courses (previously known as The Eton Choral Courses) for young people aged 16-21. The courses are open to all and we operate a generous bursary scheme. An extension of the choral courses is the Rodolfus Choir, an auditioned youth choir that performs at major venues and records CDs. The Choir offers young people professional experiences and helps many at the start of their musical careers. The Foundation has a number of partnerships with grassroots choral singing projects in deprived areas of London, encouraging as many children as our bursaries allow to attend a junior choral course. We have also just launched our first Choral Academy in Hackney, offering choral education to two primary schools. Our ambition is to share the joy of choral music with as many young people as possible, inspiring the broadest possible audience. We educate and support young singers to experience the excitement of musical teamwork.
