Musical director vacancy

Our founding Musical Director, Gary Skyrme, is retiring from this role in the summer of 2025. So, we are on the lookout for his replacement.

Could this be you?

We're looking for an enthusiastic musician with a passion for community music to lead the choir into its second decade, to build on the successes of its first ten years and create exciting new opportunites for the choir's dedicated singers.

You'll have a love of singing - and music in general - and a desire to enable amateur musicians to achieve amazing results.

A bit about us

You will be joining an established choir with a real sense of shared community. Members of the choir soon become friends.

We offer a growing musical library, with a commitment for purchasing and licensing the scores.

Our rehearsal venue in the centre of Batley is comfortable, with excellent rehearsal acoustics and a good quality digital piano.

The choir either owns or has access to Yamaha PA equipment, a pair of handheld radio mics and a power source for performing 'off grid'!

You can find lots more information in our Information pack. Also, have a browse around the website - the photos of the 2024 Christmas Concert show how much fun we had.

Interested?

Details of how to apply are in the pack.  If you would like an informal chat with Gary about the role or the choir, feel free to contact him at gary@batleysings.org

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
