York Singing Academy was founded in 1988 as The De Costa Academy of Singing by international operatic baritone Michael De Costa. It has trained hundreds of pupils from the ages of six to those over eighty, and has a strong reputation for developing singers to a very high standard. By concentrating on developing a solid and secure technique, pupils are able to apply that to whatever genre of music they enjoy performing, and singers of all styles are warmly encouraged. Academy pupils perform as soloists and ensemble singers with choirs and bands, and on stage in musical theatre and operatic productions; many have gone onto further education colleges and conservatoires and had professional careers. We also put on our own regular concerts in the area to showcase the pupils, in which all students are encouraged to participate if they so wish.
