Musical Director: Wooburn Singers
Wooburn Singers is looking to appoint an energetic and creative Musical Director to build on the achievements of our current conductor, Jonathon Cole-Swinard. Wooburn Singers was formed in 1967 by Richard Hickox in Wooburn Green, Beaconsfield, Bucks. Over the choir’s existence, we have had 7 superb conductors. We are an auditioned chamber choir of about 50 members based in South Buckinghamshire and perform 4 concerts a year, a capella or with piano, organ, cello and recently, soprano saxophone. We also perform with other instrumental ensembles.
Soloists range from well-known professionals to rising stars and also from within the choir. Our professional accompanist, Simon Howat is a soloist in his own right. We perform a wide range of music from renaissance to contemporary composers. The choir is seeking to recruit a new Musical Director to replace Jonathon Cole-Swinard when he steps down on 31 December 2026 after 5 years with us.
Further information about the choir can be found on our website: www.wooburnsingers.org.uk or from our Chair, Debbie Hoult at Debbie.hoult@gmail.com.
We rehearse at The Beaconsfield School, Wattleton Road, Beaconsfield HP9 1RR on Wednesday evenings from 7:45pm-9:45pm.
To apply, please email a full CV including the names and contact details of two references to the Chair at debbie.hoult@gmail.com plus a covering letter outlining why you and Wooburn Singers would be good for each other.
