Director of Scottish Voices
We are recruiting for a new Director for RSCM Scottish Voices from August 2026.
Scottish Voices is an enthusiastic group of adult singers who gather for single-day events in churches and cathedrals across Scotland (and occasionally further afield), generally on Saturdays. Members are mostly singers in local church choirs, of a variety of denominations, who are looking to expand their personal repertoire and sing under the direction of excellent musicians in the company of other experienced choral singers.
We are looking for a professional choral director who can engage, inspire and challenge the singers, and support their development as singers and musicians.
