Director of Music

About the job

Steel City Choristers is seeking a talented musician to be the Director of Music of its innovative choir, which serves a wide range of churches and other communities around Sheffield through a diverse programme of services, concerts and projects; and runs singing workshops in schools.

Rooted in the English choral tradition, our choir is made up of boys and girls 6-18, including boys with changing voices, and adults with excellent sight reading skills.
