Music Director

Marnhull Community Choir is looking to appoint a new Music Director for September 2025 following the departure of their current director, who is moving away from the area. We are looking for a skilled, ambitious and motivating conductor to continue the development of the choir.

Marnhull Community Choir is an un-auditioned mixed choir of c.50 singers drawn from Marnhull village and the surrounding rural area in North Dorset.  We rehearse on Wednesday evenings in the Marnhull Village Hall and perform primarily in the hall or local church.   

Our repertoire contains music from many different genres. About half the members do not read music and have never sung in a choir before but do so because it is a relaxed and friendly group who enjoy singing together for fun.       

We perform a minimum of two concerts per year in December, March/April, and an informal Cheese, Wine and Song evening in June/July with 10 weekly rehearsals during term time from September to June.

Conductor’s fees £35.00 per hour, on the basis of three concerts and 30 rehearsals per year, in addition there is a termly admin fee payable of £100.00. Fees are reviewed annually.

Applications are invited for this post by midnight 19th March 2025. For further information and to apply please contact the Chair, Christine Drake  Email: chris@christine-drake.com
