Anyone interested should email claritassecretary@gmail.com with the deadline for applications at the end of this month.
Committee member Marian Mackay said: “We’re looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative MD able to balance fun and professionalism to take the choir forward and continue Kath’s good work.

“If you have a love of music, time to devote to the choir and a wish to support the work of Hospice we’d love to hear from you.
“It’s a specialist role. Not only does the MD have to be a musician, but they also need leadership skills, personality and a well-developed sense of humour.
“Claritas welcomes singers of mixed abilities with the aim of having fun and raising money. The choir has an accompanist and the new MD will need to conduct rehearsals and performances without the accompanist occasionally.”
A fee can be paid for weekly rehearsals and concerts. The post starts in April.

The choir (www.claritaschoir.com) has around 45 members and organises three big fundraising concerts a year, with two at Christmas. The group also sing at other community events. New members should contact the same email address.
