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.

The Sitting Room Singers (SRS) are looking for a new musical director to join us from early 2024 onwards.
SRS is a mixed, auditioned a cappella community choir based in Auckland, comprising approximately 25-30 singers. We rehearse in Epsom on Mondays from 7-9pm and usually perform three main concerts per year.
We are a bunch of friendly, quirky people from all walks of life who enjoy making good music and socialising in a creative and supportive environment. Officially we formed in 2020 but as a group we have deep roots; many of us have sung together for over 12 years. Our song selection is diverse – we sing jazz, pop, oldies, ballads, musical theatre, madrigals and more. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our repertoire, our high level of musicianship, and our ability to tackle complex arrangements.
We are on the hunt for a passionate Musical Director who can grow with us and push us to exciting new heights, including competing in the World Choir Games in July 2024 and beyond! The ideal candidate will have a solid musical background, experience working with singers, good time management, and be a strong communicator. Our choir is run by a dedicated committee who will support and work alongside the MD.
To learn more about the position, contact sittingroomsingers@gmail.com by 15 December 2023 and we’ll be in touch. If you have missed this deadline but are interested, please make contact. We look forward to hearing from you!
