Music Director Search

The LTCS is searching for a long term director. The LTCS consists of 60-65 singers in the fall and 40-45 in the winter. Our programs feature a classical repertoire and tend to be larger works in the fall with some Christmas / holiday themed pieces. Holiday themed examples are Darke’s In The Bleak Midwinter and Rutter’s When Icicles Hang as well as PDQ Bach Christmas carols.  The LTCS performs lighter music in the spring.

Rehearsals begin on September 11, 2012 at the Petoskey High School. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00 PM.

Our concert dates for the 2012-2013 season are December 1 and 2, 2012 and May 4 and 5, 2013. Dress rehearsals are the Friday night before the concert.  Concerts are in Petoskey on Saturday night and Indian River on Sunday afternoon.

The director position is a contractual position, compensation determined by the director’s education background and directing experience. The director is not required to attend monthly board meetings but is expected to submit a director’s report.
