Job Summary

We seek a successor to our current choirmaster who is moving from the area to take up a new career opportunity in June/July 2025.

Job Description

The Bonhoeffer Choir is the German community choir attached to the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Church in Sydenham.

A friendly and welcoming group of singers aged 35-65, we have built a solid repertoire of mostly classical songs, both a cappella and with piano accompaniment. They are also always up for new challenges, performing mostly in Sydenham or neighbouring parishes in and around London.

We meet Mondays at 19:45 - 21:45 in Forest Hill, London.

A familiarity with German language and culture is preferential, but not required.

The pay rate is £75 per rehearsal and £120 per performance. This results in an hourly wage of at least £37.5/h

Job Requirements

We are looking for applicants with a joy and passion for choral music and experience in participating in choirs as a singer, accompanist, composer or as an arranger of music for SATB with a commitment to helping us reach our full potential.

Job Responsibilities

Conduct a weekly choir rehearsal (of no more than 2 hours) using the school calendar as a guide to months worked. The choir breaks for all half-terms, Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays.

Lead, and help organize, up to 5 public performances per annum, including helping to choose a repertoire and, optionally, accompanying the choir on the piano or organ.
