Hampton based Thameside Harmony Chorus are looking for a new music director. This group has been meeting to sing for over 35 years, meeting on Wednesday evenings to rehearse at Hampton Methodist Church. We sing at occasional concerts and events in the local area, usually at weekends but sometimes in the evenings and occasionally (if feasible) during the day such as in the lead up to Christmas. We currently have 14 members and we are looking for an enthusiastic MD with good vocal sensibilities in order to be able to hear and help all four harmony parts. Being able to play a piano as well is a distinct advantage as is some knowledge of the barbershop style and approach.
Rooted in the barbershop tradition the group is a member of LABBS and sings a wide variety of repertoire from the traditional to the massive pop hit. We are looking for someone who can help us improve our performance but who has humour and sensitivity as it’s a mixed ability chorus. We are keen to grow our numbers and learn new songs so we will need support in achieving our aims. It is a paid position.
You are of course welcome to visit us to hear us sing and find out more. Or call on 020 8894 3516
