Accompanist

Vacancy Type: 
Application deadline: 
Sunday, 30 May 2021
Description of vacancy: 

 

Penshurst Choral Society, based in Kent, is seeking to appoint an accompanist from September 2021 working under the direction of our Director of Music and conductor, Joe Tobin.

 

We are a keen, un-auditioned choir, 60 strong.  We sing a wide repertoire from early music to modern.  We have traditionally performed three concerts a year at Christmas, February and in June, although scheduling of these is likely to change.  We normally meet for rehearsals in Langton Green, Tunbridge Wells every Tuesday evening 8 pm to 9.50 pm during September to mid-June with breaks for Christmas and Easter.  We have continued online since September 2020 but hope to return to in person rehearsal in September 2021. 

 

An applicant for this post must be able to record piano/accompaniment parts.  Some experience of working online would be preferred.  Experience of taking a rehearsal or part of a rehearsal in an emergency would be an added bonus.

 

We pay an honorarium per rehearsal and a fee for participating in concerts.  Candidates will be working with Joe Tobin supported by an active Committee.
