The Hanover Choir, a small unauditioned chamber choir based in the City of London, is seeking a new enthusiastic and experienced Musical Director to take us on the next steps of our musical journey.
We rehearse on Thursday evenings for 11 or 12 weeks per term with 3 to 4 concerts per year. The Musical Director will both lead and accompany the choir at rehearsals, though a separate accompanist may be provided in the lead up to concerts.
We are a versatile choir of around 25 singers, singing mainly classical works as well as more contemporary music and are keen to embrace all styles and learn new music.
The choir’s aim is to develop musically with a challenging repertoire whilst enjoying singing more well-known and favourite pieces. Our repertoire in the last 3 years has featured Haydn, Gounod, Jommelli, Britten and Chilcott. Details of our past repertoire is on our website here: https://www.hanoverchoir.org.uk/archive/
We are adaptable - we welcome both accomplished singers and those who wish to increase their skills, and we are always looking to increase our membership. We aim for singing with the Hanover Choir to be stimulating, challenging and rewarding. Since we are a small choir, every voice matters.
The Hanover Choir is independent, is a registered charity and recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. It is managed by a committee, elected by choir members, which usually meets once per term.
As well as our regular rehearsals and concerts we host a yearly Come and Sing event and a weekend away in September.
