The Bristol Bach Choir is looking to appoint a new Musical Director from January 2023. We are a mixed voice choir of around 30-40 dedicated singers; membership is by audition. Since its formation in 1967 the choir has gained a reputation for its dynamic, expressive singing and its vibrant performances.
Our repertoire ranges from early Baroque music to 21st century compositions. This versatility, and the choir's size, means that large choral works and more intimate chamber choir pieces are performed with equal success.
The choir regularly appears alongside the country's most respected professional soloists and orchestras and also engages exceptionally talented young musicians on the verge of major international careers.
Performances are given in a variety of venues across Bristol and the surrounding area. Rehearsals are held on Thursday evening in central Bristol, supported by an accompanist as required.
The choir aspires to be the pre eminent choir in the South West and is looking to continue to raise our musical and vocal standards and develop our repertoire.
The successful candidate should be an inspiring and knowledgeable choral conductor who would help develop both our singers and the group's ensemble sound, whilst collaborating to develop and deliver engaging concert programmes that foster a sense of enjoyment and pleasure in both choir and audiences.
The closing date for applications is 30th September 2022. For further information about the role and how to apply please contact us at secretary@bristolbach.org.uk
