Has your musical life consisted mostly of classical and/or sacred music? Are you looking for something different and exciting? Then consider this:

Incantatem Singers is an auditioned 24-voice acapella chorus with beat boxer. We are passionate about all things geeky and sing music from our fandoms such as fantasy, video games, anime, sci-fi, TV, movies and more. We arrange our music in-house and sing in 4 to 6 parts, mixed voices. The musical styles are as eclectic as the subject matter. We prepare a signature concert, often including dramatic elements, every 6–12 months and do other gigs such as ComiCon, AiKon and MCA Gather along with guest appearances. Rehearsals are Monday evenings, 7-9 p.m.

All responsibilities of this position will be shared with the current musical director, giving both persons flexibility and shared responsibility (ideal for a retired person e.g.!). These include: planning and leading rehearsals, auditioning new members and soloists, vetting and editing arrangements, and some one-on-one coaching. 

Training/experience in choral (or other) conducting and vocal coaching an asset. Rehearsals are led by the directors from the piano so some skills in that regard are necessary. A good theoretical background will help with the arranging aspect. The directors continually aim to help the members develop their skills (rhythm, sight reading, vocal production, musicality) while at the same time having fun! We have a great sense of community and choir members carry out a variety of volunteer roles. The co-director role comes with an honorarium.

Duties to begin as worked out, asap. (Monday evening rehearsals continue through June 29. There is a summer break during July/August.)
