Vacancy: Choir Director Gale Force Gospel

Gale Force Gospel Choir is an ‘acappella’ choir of around 40 singers that meets on a Monday night 6 – 8pm @ St Andrew’s on The Terrace, Wellington. Currently we follow school term dates. We are a diverse group, reflecting a range of backgrounds and beliefs, that come together to sing because we love the genre of gospel music.

The choir was established in 2011 and some of our members have been with the choir since that time. A large part of our extensive repertoire is based on Tony Backhouse’s arrangements of gospel songs from the southern United States We also sing some spiritual songs from African, Pacific Island and Māori cultures. In 2025, we would want to revisit songs we have sung in the past and also learn some new material. Our extensive resource folders would be available to you.

We usually do a a couple of performances a year, singing in 4 or 5 part harmony. There is a management committee that is responsible for finances, membership, admin.

This is a paid position that becomes available in March.
