Cappella Newcastle is looking for a Conducting Scholar for the 2023-24 Season
£1,050 per annum plus conducting lessons

This exciting role offers aspiring choral conductors hands-on experience under the guidance of Cappella’s Musical Director, Simon Lee. They will receive support in the form of regular conducting lessons with opportunities to conduct the choir in performance. They will support the preparation for each concert by running sectionals, supporting individual members and singing within the choir when not conducting. There will also be the opportunity to accompany the choir if the successful candidate has keyboard skills, although this is not essential.

The successful candidate would be expected to start in October 2023 and the post would run through to July 2024 in the first instance with the opportunity to extend for the 2024-25 season if both the candidate and the choir are in agreement.
