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 and the relevant regional events newsletter.

Katikati Mural Town Singers is a friendly non-auditioned community choir, welcoming both men and women. Some of us have been singing in the choir for many years. We practise on a Wednesday evening and a few months ago, welcomed Malcolm Gapes as our Music Director. Malcolm is also a member of the Katikati Concert Band. We sing a wide variety of music, both for enjoyment and to share with our local community by way of singouts and one or two concerts each year. We have collaborated with other choirs in the past and attend workshops and Big Sings when possible, to add to our singing knowledge and to share a few of our items with other choirs.
We wish to find an accompanist as, towards the end of last year, we said farewell to our previous pianist. If this position interests you or if you would like to find out more, please contact Karen Sellers, Secretary sellers.lulu@gmail.com

Established in 2009 as a non-auditioned community SATB choir, we comprise 40-45 members who meet weekly on a Tuesday evening at the Albany Holy Cross Church to improve our personal singing and to perform a wide variety of music for the enjoyment of ourselves and the community, with two concerts per year.
For the past three years, we have been ably led by Margaret Wright LTCL in Piano and LTCL in Singing, who will be leaving us as MD at the end of 2025, and have recently been joined by accomplished pianist Erin Fagan.
We are now looking for someone to lead us on our next journey.
This position is open to an experienced director or highly skilled musician who is able to lead rehearsals and concerts, be able to step in as rehearsal accompanist if required, select a fun repertoire in conjunction with the committee, and inspire our community choir to give its best.
