We've gone niche this week and we discuss a divide in our industry that we are both acutely aware of: the world of choral singing vs the world of solo singing.

As two singers who were raised in the choral tradition we both love performing in choirs and understand the variety of skills needed to be a successful ensemble singer. However, we are also two singers that have made the decision to pursue professional careers as solo singers because we also love the world of opera and song. 

Today we take a look at the skills needed to be a good choral singer, the skills needed to be a good solo singer and how these two worlds often look down on one another. We question if there might be a better way for these two worlds to support one another, we discuss the conservatoire's fickle approach to choral singing and we look at some highly successful British soloists who take pride in their choral background.
