Musical Director

Application deadline: 
Friday, 31 March 2023
Description of vacancy: 

Following the re-location of our current MD, Cavatina Singers Penarth, a mixed (satb) choral choir of around 20 members, is looking for an inspiring MD to work alongside a talented accompanist to nurture and develop an enthusiastic group of singers and help build up numbers to pre-pandemic levels. The choir has enjoyed singing a wide range of music in recent years from Byrd to contemporary music, with some works/pieces written especially for Cavatina by local composers. Continuing to meet on-line during the lockdown, in the autumn term 2020 the choir joined with two other choirs to take part in an online winter concert of all new music; "Winter Legends, Christmas Bells" which is available to view on Youtube.

Prior to the pandemic the choir performed each term, usually with piano accompaniment although sometimes with additional instruments and soloists, and are hoping to work towards being able to achieve this again in the future. Cavatina rehearses on a Tuesday evening in Penarth during school term times 7:30 - 9:00pm.

Ideally to commence at the end of April 2023 but if not, then September 2023.
