Organist and Choir Director

Thornhill Presbyterian Church (TPC), in Thornhill, Ontario, is seeking a part-time (10-16 hours per week) Organist and Choir Director. The successful candidate will take leadership of the music ministry, playing a 33 stop, 2 manual Allen digital organ (installed in 2011) and a Yamaha upright piano. Due to the earlier hiatus in choral music as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Director will be expected to invest energy in rebuilding the choral program of the congregation, which hitherto has consisted of an adult mixed voice (occasionally SATB) choir and a separate one-voice junior youth choir. A passion for sacred music, solid leadership, excellent communication, and interpersonal skills are essential. The candidate will work collaboratively with the Minister and all other individuals and groups involved in worship, including a contemporary Praise Band led by volunteers from within the congregation. Stipend/salary shall be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Applications will be treated with confidentiality. Applications are to be submitted to, and further details are available from, the convener of the search committee, Garth Low, at garth [dot] low [at] garthlow [dot] com. Application deadline is July 31, 2022.
