The Croydon Philharmonic Choir is the largest and longest-established choir in Croydon. We have been singing for more than 100 years and perform four concerts each year. We have around 70 members who comprise four choral sections: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. We have an extensive repertoire, ranging from classic choral pieces to contemporary music.

Vacancy for Music Director

successful years in the role.
This is an opportunity to lead an experienced and ambitious choir of about 70 singers to the next stages of its development. Remuneration will be competitive and reflect the experience of the
selected candidate.
