Vacancy: Conductor/Music Director starting September 2019

Caerphilly Community Chorus is looking for its next inspiring conductor!

Caerphilly Community Chorus is a non-auditioning community SA/Men choir for adult members (15 years and above).

Established in 2009, the Chorus sings a broad repertoire of world music. We have ~ 50 members and meet on Friday evenings from 7.15pm – 9.00pm for weekly term-time rehearsals, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We currently present three concerts a year along with local community engagements.

The successful candidate will have a very good musical background and be able to demonstrate skill and experience in leading a group of this size with wide ranging ages and abilities. Passion and enthusiasm are more important to us than extensive experience of choral conducting.

This role is ably supported by an experienced accompanist.

The challenge is to retain members’ interest whilst maintaining the standard of singing and developing the choir further.

We have an elected Committee which supports the Musical Director and oversees the running of the choir and its organisation.

Short-listed candidates will called for interview on Friday 31st May.

They will also be invited to take part of our choir rehearsal on a Friday evening and meet chorus members, our current Musical Director and Accompanist.

We welcome applications up to and including 26/4/19

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Please apply to Chorus Secretary via email to linda.curry46@yahoo.com with a CV and covering letter outlining your suitability for the post.
