The Music Ministry of Grace Church, Hinsdale, IL seeks a tenor and baritone (“bari-tenor”) section leader to provide long-term musical leadership in its Adult Choir, starting Wednesday 29 August 2018, and continuing for every Wednesday evening rehearsals and every Sunday morning services throughout the 2018-2018 program year, and preferably for subsequent program years.
We seek musicians who bring experience, maturity, humor, and faith to this position. The context of musical prayer which the choir supports is the center of this community’s life. Grace Church has a notable tradition of excellent, traditional liturgy and music. The volunteer parish choristers bring higher-than-average level of musicianship and experience, along with a joyful sense of welcome and hospitality. The ideal candidates should have well-developed sight-reading skills, and possess good vocal flexibility, with a particular comfort to sing “straight tone.” Current undergraduate students are welcome to apply.
The church is located only 1.5 blocks from the Metra/BNSF Hinsdale station. The regular schedule: Wednesday evening rehearsal, 7:30-9:30pm, and Sunday mornings, 8:45am warm-up for Eucharist (Holy Communion). Section leaders are expected to be present for all calls. Rides may potentially be arranged from Chicago or the Oak Park area, if needed, for regular calls.
Auditions, by appointment only, begin Thursday July 26. They are held at Grace Church, 120 East First Street, Hinsdale, IL, 60521. The positions remain open until filled.
