Professional Choristers | Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Richmond, VA

Organization Website: www.richmondcathedral.org

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Richmond, VA, seeks professional singers
for immediate permanent and substitute positions for all voice parts as well
as cantor opportunities. (Semi-professional choir. The professional core will
constitute an ensemble separate from the semi-professional whole.)

Substitute choristers must be available on Sunday mornings.

Choristers are engaged from September through June with Thursday night
rehearsals, reoccurring Sunday Masses at 9 and 11 a.m., occasional diocesan
events, other events as scheduled, and concert opportunities.

Competitive pay.

The cathedral’s music program welcomes those who wish to make music at a
high level and are thoroughly trained in the vocal arts, having earned at
least a Bachelor’s in Music/Voice, or equivalent experience/skills.
Exceptional sight-singing ability, flexibility in sound, and mastery of
differing musical styles are equally important as dedication, commitment, and
leadership skills.

Auditions are in progress and will continue until positions are filled. The
audition will include a rendering of an early music aria of the applicant’s
choice, sight-singing of Gregorian chant (in modern notation), and
sight-singing of a renaissance Mass.
    
Those interested may electronically send a CV, a statement of interest, and
recordings/clips (if available) to:
