The chamber choir Illumination is looking for a new conductor, as present MD Kerry Prest (also conductor of the Equity choir) is leaving this year. Illumination was formed in 2006, initially to record a CD of work by composer Miriam Mackie. This was launched with a concert at the Unitarian Chapel in Hampstead. This year, the choir is concerting at St James's Church in Piccadilly on November 18th, with work ranging from Tallis to Gorecki and Part, as well as new work. This is an able and committed predominantly amateur chamber choir of 15-18 voices. Members are active in choirs including Crouch End Festival Chorus, Highgate Choral Society, and Camden and Highbury Chamber choirs. Illumination is essentially a project-focussed choir, rather than rehearsing weekly. We aim to mix some established repertoire with what we hope will be a continued focus on music by contemporary and emerging composers. Rehearsals normally take place in central London, either Sunday afternoon or a weekday evening. The opportunity would suit an enthusiastic conductor wanting to extend their experience with a capable and friendly choir, and is willing to do so without a fee at this stage. If you are interested, please send your CV and a covering letter by 20th September to kerryprest@googlemail.com A shortlist of candidates will be invited to join us at a rehearsal in early October.

Applicants are invited for 2 posts of Cantor (paid) at the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Reading The Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Reading, has two vacancies for paid cantors. These posts offer a unique opportunity for accomplished singers with an interest in plainsong. The posts will involve 30 services per year with an honorarium of £500. The majority of services fall on Sunday mornings. Attendance is by negotiation, and can accommodate some other Sunday morning commitments Rehearsals, usually lasting no more than forty minutes, will take place solely before services, although initial training, for singers not familiar with the notation/repertoire, may take place at other times. The church has a strong Anglo-catholic tradition and the musical repertoire is largely chant-based. Six plainsong Mass settings are used throughout the year and there are many opportunities for more elaborate Propers. Applicants should have strong voices, capable of providing a lead to the congregation when appropriate. Familiarity with four-line notation and chant repertoire would be helpful, but by no means essential as training will be provided as necessary. Holy Trinity is close to Reading city centre, and ten minutes' walk from the train station. There are good train links to Oxford and London.
