Do you:

  • Love instilling a passion for choral singing in children?
  • Like working with engaged colleagues to create a stimulating music program?

The Calgary Boys’ Choir is seeking a Young Singers Choir Director for a new satellite choir in South Calgary as part of its strategy to expand current programs.

Reporting to and working closely with the Artistic Director and Young Singers Coordinator, the Young Singers South Director will be responsible for programming, rehearsals, and concerts for boys aged Kindergarten to Grade 2.

  • Highly organized, engaging, and can capture the attention and imagination of young boys.
  • Self-motivated, disciplined, and possess strong interpersonal skills.
  • A community builder.

Do something engaging and meaningful—areas of responsibility cover:

  • Leading weekly rehearsals.
  • September to May weekly rehearsals.

Concerts and Workshops

  • Prepare and conduct boys in two main stage and two community-based concerts per year.
  • Lead/participate in choral workshops (four to five per season).
  • Additional events (other community appearances, festivals, etc) as required.

Challenge and variety—you love harnessing the energy of boys and working with engaged colleagues to instil a love of singing and foundational musicianship in young boys.

We look forward to hearing from positive, collaborative, driven people, who want to help make the Calgary Boys’ Choir even better than it is now.
