Music Director

Thames Voyces Chamber Choir based in Bracknell, Berkshire is seeking to appoint a new Music Director, starting in September 2024 to succeed Nick Austin, who will be standing down after 11 years of artistic leadership.

Thame Voyces is looking for a Music Director who will have experience in directing and conducting a choral group.  It will be important that they are able to accompany the choir, current membership around 30, during rehearsals as we do not have a resident rehearsal accompanist.  Ideally the successful candidate will have a wide choral repertoire and be motivated in programme creation. Remuneration will be within Making Music’s average ranges, with rehearsal and concert fees paid.

The choir meet on Tuesday evenings for 2 hours at Jennett’s Park School, 3 Tawny Owl Square, Bracknell, RG12 8EB and perform 4 concerts a year locally in the Bracknell and Crowthorne area.  Members are all auditioned and able to sight read music.  We pursue a love of singing through a wide repertoire of choral works from early music through to the present day, whilst aspiring to reach the highest possible standards.  Please see our website for further information.
