Headline Sponsor

PMLL represents music publishers and makes it easy to copy printed sheet music legally. The Amateur Choir Licence (ACL) gives choirs a simple, straightforward way to photocopy and make minor arrangements of eligible works without chasing permissions. It keeps things quick and hassle-free, while ensuring publishers and songwriters are fairly paid

They also provide licences for schools, higher education, amateur theatre, and the wider performing arts.

Fairness and accessibility are central to UK Choir of the Year, and PMLL’s work reflects those values. Supporting group music-making while protecting the creators behind the music we all love is exactly why we’re proud to be working together.

Gold Sponsor

Choir & Organ magazine aims to inspire their readers by giving a platform to singers, conductors, organists, composers, and choirs of every kind. Every issue contains expert reviews of the latest recordings, books and sheet music; in-depth articles on choral and organ music; as well as newly commissioned works to perform.

They are a publication that has long championed the very values we care about: musical excellence, community, and the power of collective voice. Having them on board as we launch feels entirely fitting, and we are proud to have their support as we establish this new choral competition.

Silver Sponsors

ABRSM is The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and a global music education charity.  At the heart of everything they do is a belief that music enriches lives. Building on our heritage, they offer face-to-face and digital exams, sheet music, recordings, apps and courses for students and teachers across the world.

Early music education is very important to us here at UK Choir of the Year - and we are very honoured to have ABRSM support us in our inaugural year.

Dorico, the next-generation music notation software from Steinberg (Cubase, Nuendo), is the first choice for music notation and composition, packed with smart, time-saving features that help you focus on what matters most: making music.

We particularly love Dorico’s intelligent engraving engine, which produces beautifully balanced, publication-quality scores, eliminating the need for tedious manual layout adjustments.

We are thrilled to have their support.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced singer, EarMaster offers a range of tools to improve pitch accuracy, rhythm, sight-singing, and scale awareness - essential skills for any choir member.

The winner of each category will win a year’s subscription to EarMaster for every choir member.

One choir that doesn’t get through to the category finals will also win a year’s subscription and will be picked at random.

We’re delighted to have them on board.
