Musical Director

Application deadline: 
Friday, 1 March 2024
Description of vacancy: 

Rainham Ladies is seeking a new Musical Director to help take our well-established and enthusiasitc choir forward.

Based in Rainham Kent, we have 20+ enthusiastic members from a range of age groups.  We are a well-established choir (over 60 years) and our members enjoy singing across a wide range of musical genres, generally in 3-part harmony.  Our current repertoire is drawn from sacred songs, madrigals, traditional songs, classical pieces, songs from shows and more modern popular songs but we are open to trying new and different pieces.  

Following the retirement of our Musical Director, we are seeking a new Conductor/MD.  Fees subject to discussion and agreement.

We usually perform at least two concerts per year (Spring and Christmas), plus singing at other events as they arise.  Some examples of our recent performances can be found on our Facebook page (Rainham Ladies).  

We rehearse weekly with a pianist, every Monday (except Bank Holidays and a break for August) at a school in Rainham Kent from 7.30 to 9.00 pm.  

We would love to hear from potential MDs who would like to join us to help us maintain and develop our high standard of vocal performance and perhaps introduce us to some new repertoire.  Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this opportunity.  We would look to meet and interview suitable applicants; any appointment would be on a trial basis for the first term.
