AVON & SOMERSET Police Community Male Voice Choir

Music Director needed!

The Avon and Somerset Police Community Male Voice Choir are seeking a replacement for their Musical Director, who will be retiring after many years of accomplished service. Our choir has been established for over fifty years and is approximately forty-five strong and growing. The members comprise a blend of retired Police personnel and members of the public. We sing four-part harmony and our repertoire includes traditional folk songs, pop classics, spirituals, sacred music and songs from musical theatre.

We perform concerts throughout Somerset, South Gloucester, Bristol and Bath, approximately once a month, raising money for various charities. Our rehearsals take place on Monday evenings at the Police Headquarters in Portishead.

The post requires a person with a first-class knowledge of music and ideally some previous experience of leading a choir. Familiarity with the kind of music we sing would also be an asset, as would a willingness to introduce and teach new music to the choir, the majority of whose members do not read music. That person should have good keyboard skills, show leadership and the ability to communicate, have a stage presence and an outgoing personality. The aim will always be to rehearse and perform to a high standard for every concert. The holder of the post is self-employed and details will be revealed to applicants on enquiry.

Applicants will be invited to attend a rehearsal and lead the choir in a number of our pieces so that a mutual assessment may be made.

If you are interested in this role, you should contact the Secretary, Frank Edgeller, at fedge44@sky.com or by telephone on 07547 681451.

Expires 22 October 2026
