Musical Director

Pitchcraft is an auditioned a cappella choir with 60+ members, based in Edinburgh. We are looking for a new musical director to join us as soon as possible.

We sing original arrangements of a wide variety of music including our trademark mashups and medleys. The choir learn from scores but we also welcome non music readers and provide audio tracks to support learning. We have an extensive repertoire of arrangements but our ideal candidate would also be keen to suggest new music and encourage us to expand our musical horizons, aligned to our core essence.

Pitchcraft is performance focused and all our performances are off-score. In every performance we aim to offer high quality and high entertainment value as well as something a little different. We typically stage one or two of our own public performances a year as well as occasional corporate gigs and private event bookings.

We are looking for someone with experience in and a passion for a cappella, and the energy and vision to take Pitchcraft forward and help us be the very best choir we can be. Pitchcraft is a registered charity and the successful candidate will be supported by our board of trustees and volunteer leads, including leads for each section.

We have a strong social media presence and a commitment to grow our following by producing high quality videos of our songs. You can watch a number of our performances on our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/pitchcraft

If you are interested in applying, please read the full role description on our website https://www.pitchcraft.co.uk/vacancy and send us your CV and a short covering letter to admin@pitchcraft.co.uk by midday on Friday 28th April 2023.

We aim to hold interviews w/c 1st May and auditions on the 16th May but of course can be flexible as needed.
