Haddo House Choral and Operatic Society(HHCOS), a long-established choir in the NE of Scotland requires the services of a new Musical Director. We are a non auditioned choir of approximately 60 members of mixed ability that typically produces two concerts a year, with either piano/organ accompaniment ,or full orchestra, along with a number of carol concerts, all to a very high performance standard. We have also produced many operas in the past. We rehearse weekly during term time in our purpose built rehearsal space at Haddo House, Tarves, Aberdeenshire.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Musical Director with a passion for choral work and opera, who has the drive to take our musical programmes forward with an ever respectful eye to the strong traditions of HHCOS.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to uphold high musical standards and curate engaging, imaginative concert programmes that attract new audiences and help grow our membership. They should be skilled in guiding singers in vocal technique and musical interpretation, able to challenge experienced singers and support and encourage less  experienced members.

Applications should be submitted electronically to our Secretary, Sue Willing, at  secretary@hhcos.org.uk

The closing date for applications is Sunday 28th September. Selected applicants will be offered an interview to be held at Haddo during the following two weeks. For further information visit our website
