Choir Musical Director

Application deadline:

Description of vacancy: 

We are looking fo a new Musical Director to work with Pianist to lead and director the original Military Wives Choir. 

As the name suggests, the WAGS Choir in Catterick embraces services’ wives, affiliates, girlfriends and servicewomen, and it was the first and original Military Wives Choir.

In early 2010, Nicky Clarke and Caroline Jopp approached Carol Gedye with the idea of starting up a choir. The thought was to give those left at home a focus and a support group to keep spirits high with fun and friendship while their loved ones and colleagues were away.

The Military WAGS Choir have sung at numerous high-profile events over the years and are committed to making music in the local community. They regularly collaborate with Richmond School at concerts with their music and drama groups. In 2014, they recorded a CD, ‘Harmonies for Heroes’, with Reeth and Muker Bands, raising over £8,000 to support the Help for Heroes at the Phoenix House Recovery Centre in Catterick.
