Musical Director

Application deadline: 
Monday, 30 August 2021
Description of vacancy: 

KT6 Vocal Group (KT6) is a vibrant group of ambitious, amateur singers, looking for an experienced Musical Director with creative flare and edge to challenge and inspire us.

For five years we have been performing an eclectic, contemporary repertoire of songs arranged for a cappella, from Lady Gaga’s ‘Shallow’ and Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’, to Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ and Metallica’s ‘Nothing Else Matters’. Our preference is a director who can arrange their own music for a cappella voices, or someone who wants to put their own stamp on this musical genre. Our New MD will also have the ability to engage choir members at rehearsals, pushing our rhythmic and vocal capabilities. 

 

KT6 is based in Surbiton and rehearses weekly during term times. It is an auditioning choir, comprising around twenty male and female voices and is a committee-led, amateur organisation. Our MD will support the auditioning process to shape the dynamic of the group.  We enjoy performing and have formed a good network of events and venues in South West London. 

 

KT6 invites applications for the post of Musical Director, which is tenable on a renewable contractual basis from September 2021 (pr from the date of appointment).  A stipend will be set at a competitive rebate for rehearsals and performances.

 

Please email expressions of interest and a CV to kt6vocalgroup@gmail.com by 30th August 2021 (expressions of interest received after this date will be considered at the discretion of the committee). Candidates will be asked to attend a Zoom interview to meet the committee. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to attend an audition with the choir in Surbiton.
