CCMI Spirit

what is Opportunity

Amateur musicians and singers can get involved by recording themselves individually or with their music ensemble. Once all video performances have been submitted, we will collate a video of the final piece, to premiere in June 2022.

Opportunity brings together singers and musicians from around the world and their love of music, showcasing the some of the best repertoire of the Commonwealth through an ambitious collaboration unlike any other.

This international performance will be shared during the summer of 2022 as part of the Commonwealth Games celebrating the Commonwealth and its music.

How Do I Get Involved?

Please complete this form. Please choose either the Opportunity Musicians if you are a musician, or Opportunity Singers if you are a singer to secure your place. All members of an orchestra or choir music register separately.

If you would like to contact us before signing up, ask us any questions or would like further information, please email us at ccmi@thepeoplesorchestra.com. We would love as many people as possible to be involved in this, and as such there is no limit to the number of people or groups who can take part.

You will receive a link to a music pack which will contain all the information you require to take part. This will include scores, both for the full track and individual parts, and click tracks to help you play in sync with the recordings. The packs are slightly different for vocalists and instrumentalists. They will also contain guidance on how to record your submission videos.
