After a very successful decade with the choir, our current Musical Director (MD) is retiring, and the South Berkshire Singers is seeking to recruit a successful, experienced, and enthusiastic musical director to start with us in September 2025.
The fees are negotiable but would be expected to be consistent with the rates published by organisations such as "Making Music".
South Berkshire Singers is a non-audition community SATB choir based in Wokingham, comprising about 70 members meeting weekly on a Tuesday evening, 7.30 for 7.45 pm until 9.30 pm, during school terms. The choir is organised by a committee of eight members which enjoys formal but convivial meetings approximately four times per year with the Musical Director as an invited member of the team.
Currently, the choir performs three concerts per year plus providing some occasional less formal entertainments in other community settings. The regular concerts are:
1. Music & Meditation concert held at St Paul's Church, Wokingham in March/April with the proceeds going to the church's annual charities.
2. Our Summer Concert in July with the proceeds donated to our own nominated charity.
3. Christmas Concert at Corpus Christi Church, Wokingham in early December with the proceeds going to the church's Africa Fund.
If you are interested in following up this appointment, please contact the chairman by email for the job description and further details at peter.loring@live.co.uk or info@southberkshiresingers.org.uk.
The closing date for applications is 5th April for auditions on 22nd and/or 29th April.
