Musical Director/ Conductor

Twickenham Choral, one of the foremost choirs in South West London, is looking to appoint a new conductor for September 2024 following the retirement of Christopher Herrick after 50 years with the choir.

During Christopher’s tenure the choir has gone from strength to strength.  We are looking for a skilled, ambitious and motivating conductor to continue this journey.

Twickenham Choral is an auditioned choir of c.90 singers drawn from South West London.  We rehearse on Thursday evenings in Twickenham and perform in venues in the Twickenham area and central London.  Our repertoire is ambitious and challenging and involves new commissions, notably and most recently from Roxanna Panufnik and Iain Farrington for our centenary celebration in 2021/22.  With our new Young Composers scheme we will continue to commission new works.

We perform a minimum of three major concerts per year in December, March/April and June/July with rehearsals during term time from September to June.

Conductor’s fees currently payable total £11,230 per year, on the basis of three concerts and 36 rehearsals per year. Fees are reviewed annually in line with inflation.

Applications are invited for this post by midnight 26th January 2024.  Applications received after this date may not be considered.

For further information and to apply, please contact the secretary Gillian Zettle at secretary@twickenhamchoral.org.uk

For an informal discussion about the post please contact Helen Coulson at chairman@twickenhamchoral.org.uk

We look forward to hearing from you.
