Choral Vacancies
Is your choir looking for a music director, accompanist or more singers?
NZCF can help in a number of ways:
- Paid advertising on our website under this section in eBreve
- Concert and Events listings for member choirs (list your event)
- Our 'Find-a-Choir' facility on our home page which is connected to your choir's own online profile: a good reason to keep it updated
- Download information about remuneration for choir directors
Advertisements for vacancies for choir directors, or other key roles, may be placed here for up to three months at a cost of $85 (NZCF member choirs) or $170 (non-members) - this includes up to three insertions in our monthly NZCF eBreve newsletter. See Advertising for more information or contact office@nzcf.org.nz to place an advertisement.
We are a friendly, unauditioned community choir who come together for the love of singing.
We number 25–30 members. We sing a variety of songs in 2- and 3-part harmony from different genres – including musical theatre, classical, folk and pop music and easy listening both old and new.
We meet Friday mornings to practise at St Luke’s Church, Melville, Hamilton. We have two concerts a year, and also perform at the Cambridge Christmas Festival in December. Occasionally we enjoy a singout at local Retirement Villages.
Unfortunately our wonderful conductor is unable to continue and we are looking for someone to join us and take up the challenge as our new musical director. We are able to pay a small gratuity to help cover expenses.
If you have the passion and skills to lead our choir, we would love to hear from you.
