Musical Director

Our founder Simon Thompson is retiring as musical director at the end of this year (July 2026).

We are now looking for a new MD. 
Please see the PDF information sheet below for details of the job and how to apply.

This is a statement from Simon:

"I've decided to step down from the MD position at the end of the summer term. Having started the choir in 1992, and witnessed some highlights and memories locally, nationally and in Norway, it's an incredibly difficult decision. In retirement from work, the time is right to prioritise Hardip (my wife) and family. Both Jason (Chair) and the committee have gracefully acknowledged this request to pull back from a musical leadership role.

The support I've received from everybody over 33 years, 25 active as MD and 8 while with Bjorn in Norway has been phenomenal. The choir is in great shape due to the hard work of you all - the committee, Joan, Sally, Music committee and every single individual singer. 
I want to continue to sing as a member and offer any new leader any support they may require. It is a wonderful team to be a part of!

Thank you

ST"
