Limerick Gospel Choir is seeking a new musical director

THE LIMERICK Gospel Choir is on the lookout for a “talented and passionate” musical director to lead their troupe.

Celebrating its 21st year, the mixed voice choir is made up of around 40 members from all parts of the city and county.

Candidates should have experience directing gospel or choir groups, a strong musical background, and the ability to arrange music and lead rehearsals and performances with enthusiasm and creativity.

They should also have excellent communication and leadership skills, and the ability to play piano is “desirable but not essential”.

The new musical director will need to be available for weekly rehearsals on Tuesdays at 7-9pm, as well as for masses, gigs and events where the choir performs.
