The Sixteen presents – Ignite: Digital Schools

Wed 28 October 2026

The Sixteen launches new resources to support choral singing in schools.

The Sixteen is bringing the transformative power of choral singing to schools across the UK with the launch of Ignite: Digital Schools, a new collection of digital resources bringing world-class choral singing into the classroom and inspiring children to find their own voices.

Available to schools from 16 October, the resources are designed to inspire teachers, build confidence and make choral singing accessible to primary and secondary pupils nationwide. Ignite: Digital Schools opens up the experience of choral singing to young people everywhere, regardless of their location or access to live musical opportunities.

Ignite: Digital Schools features three specially commissioned choral pieces by celebrated British composers Bob Chilcott, Lucy Walker, and Will Todd. Each piece comes in a two-part version for upper voices, ideal for use in primary schools, and in mixed voice versions for secondary school use.
