Seeing Choral Music Director -- Los Altos

The Peninsula Harmony Chorus (PHC) is currently seeking a compensated director. We are a 20 year old a cappella chorus consisting of approximately 30 members who sing popular music from madrigals to the present day, focusing mainly on early and mid 20th century music. PHC is an adult SATB chorus meeting in Los Altos on Monday evenings. Although not auditioned, we seek members who can hold their part in a choral setting.

• Administer weekly PHC rehearsals

• Participate in meetings with one or more PHC Executive Board members
to develop plans and expectations

data files
• Travel with the chorus as needed
• Adapt available scores into appropriate SATB format as needed.
• Provide vocal improvement teaching within the rehearsal structure
• Evaluate the chorus and seek methods for improving quality
