The Exeter Bach Choir (EBC) are seeking to appoint a new Musical Director.
The EBC are an auditioned amateur SATB choir based in Exeter, Devon. We rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings in Exeter with a professional accompanist. The Choir has recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a concert in Exeter Cathedral and has a healthy membership of around 50 singers some of whom have been singing with the choir for many years. Our members range from trained singers to some who cant read music, we welcome all.
The Choir organises three concerts a year, being two major SATB works with a professional ensemble and soloists in the autumn and spring, followed by a smaller scale concert in early summer. More information on the music that we have performed in recent years may be found on our website via the following link.

We are looking for a trained/professional musician with conducting and choral training experience who can inspire voice and musical confidence and has enthusiasm for enabling amateur singers to achieve their best as a group. The administration of the Choir is run by a group of volunteers covering most aspects of management with the Musical Director being a driver of repertoire, but not wholly responsible for it. We are funded through member subscriptions and receipts from concert ticket sales. Rehearsal and concert fees to be agreed.
