Announcement:
The award winning Rochester New York chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS) is searching for the right person to lead and grow its all male chorus.
We need a conductor who is trained or experienced in a cappella vocal music, who has the desire to improve the quality of our performances in public and in competition with other BHS choruses. We expect these improvements to be of a measure to attract more members to our fold. We are searching for a musical director who has the skills to improve us both technically and artistically, and who can effectively communicate those skills to an amateur ensemble. Understanding the “barbershop” style of harmony and the knowledge of the emotional impact our songs can bring to our audiences is a primary objective.
We have in place a functioning Music team, including directing assistants, section leaders and past and present adjudicators ( BHS Judges) to assist in the administrative and artistic development of the chorus. The full support of the Chapter Board of Directors is pledged.
Reasonable commitment to permanence in the community is required.
We are a non-profit and charitable organization. We offer a negotiable stipend based on the frequency of rehearsals and performances.
For more information or to express interest, please e-mail bhsdirector@rochester.rr.com.
