Apply to be part of our creative team next year! It looks absolutely great on a CV and the job will be o a smaller scale than most years. Please share with anyone who might be interested (we’re welcoming all applicants who are available - not necessarily just current students).
We’re looking for a creative team. Musical Director and assistant: Teaches the music to the singers and orchestra and helps select the production and other repertoire for the year. Piano skills are helpful but not essential. Artistic Director and assistant: The artistic director works with the cast, musical directors and core committee to stage the production with a strong artistic vision. Accompanist: The accompanist is available to play piano for rehearsals (and concerts if necessary). Ideally a pianist with strong sight reading abilities. Depending on individual availability we may take on multiple accompanists with different responisbilities. Please email KilmisterAL@cardiff.ac.uk explaining why you are suited to the role. Rehearsals are Wednesday 4:00-6:00 (occasionally extended up to 7:00) and Sunday Afternoons. Not all roles will be required to attend these times every week. These times may also have to be altered depending on availability of rooms that allow social distancing
