Huntingdon Male Voices, the new performing name of Huntingdon Male Voice Choir, is seeking a new Musical Director (MD), to start on 8th September 2022 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The new MD will replace our current MD Peter Davies, who is retiring after nearly 28 years in post.
We are a non-auditioned choir of around 25 - 30 singers, with aspirations to grow back to our pre-pandemic numbers of 40+. The Choir repertoire includes classical, sacred, established popular music and music from the folk tradition. Since its inception the Choir has maintained a strong emphasis on the enjoyment of singing and in support of organisations raising money for charitable good causes. There is a wish to re-invigorate these themes and present the Choir as an exciting and worthwhile group to be a member of for men of all ages. We are, therefore, wishing to engage an MD who is excited by this challenge.
The Choir rehearses on a Thursday evening between 19:30 hrs and 21:30 hrs, with breaks over the summer from mid-July to early September, and over the Christmas and Easter periods. We would normally perform in concert monthly, usually on a Saturday evening. A prospective candidate should also be prepared on occasion to undertake out-of-area tours with the Choir.
