Job Opening - Part-Time Choir Director / Organist
St. Peter’s is seeking a new part-time Choir Director/Organist to support and enhance the church’s long tradition of musical excellence in worship.
The successful candidate will draw on strong organ and choral conducting skills, as well as knowledge of a variety of musical influences including traditional Episcopal music, and the ability to support and engage an all-volunteer choir. The Episcopal tradition is the primary guide for the liturgy and hymns, but a variety of traditions and styles in vocal music is, at times, appropriate and desired.

Duties include directing and accompanying the choir (including 1 weeknight rehearsal) and working with the rector to plan and conduct the worship of the church. Liturgical responsibilities include the weekly 10 a.m. worship, Christmas, Holy Week and Easter services. Coordinating music for funerals and weddings is also expected and pays an additional stipend. The role includes attending staff meetings and worship committee meetings as needed.
This position is part-time, 15-20 hours per week. The salary is commensurate with ability and experience.
Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter to The Rev. Barbara Ballenger, stpeter654rector@gmail.com.
