Starting January 2027 An exciting opportunity to lead one of Scotland's leading male a cappella choruses. Rolling Hills Chorus is an ambitious and welcoming four-part harmony chorus based in Edinburgh. For more than 30 years we have entertained audiences through concerts, community events and regular appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe. As members of the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS), we perform predominantly in the barbershop style and compete nationally, continually striving to raise our musical standards. Following the decision by our Musical Director, Rosalind Johnson, to step down after ten successful years, we are seeking an inspiring and enthusiastic Musical Director to lead the next stage of the chorus's development. 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.
