The successful applicant will be an accomplished musical leader who can inspire and develop amateur singers, lead engaging rehearsals, and prepare the chorus for performances and competition. You will combine high musical standards with excellent communication skills, encouragement, patience and a sense of fun. Experience of directing a choir, chorus or vocal ensemble is essential. Experience of barbershop is desirable but not essential, and applications are welcomed from talented choral conductors who are interested in developing within the barbershop style. The chorus rehearses on Tuesday evenings at Polwarth Church Hall, Edinburgh EH11 1LU This is a paid position, with remuneration negotiated according to experience and responsibilities.
