Musical Director

Application deadline: 
Friday, 3 May 2019
Description of vacancy: 

Would you like to lead an enthusiastic, motivated and friendly 100 strong SATB a cappella choir, building on the firm foundations of founder directors, Faith Watson and Jules Gibb, Carol Donaldson and, for the last eleven years, Liz Powers?

We are looking to recruit a new Musical Director who will prepare materials, conduct rehearsals and lead the choir at a number of public performances each year, including some performances away from Manchester.  We are a performance choir,  appearing regularly at events in Manchester and further afield such as the annual Street Choirs Festival, which we are hosting in Manchester this year! We aim to combine singing for pleasure with performing to the very best of our ability. We sing songs in English and sometimes in other languages. Songs from all over the world with themes of equality, peace and respect – with some pop classics added in for fun. We learn by ear so members do not read from printed music, are not auditioned and do not sing solos.
