Choir seeks new Conductor

The Sheffield Bach Choir is seeking a new Conductor to take up post on 1st September 2023. The new post-holder will play a key role in shaping future programmes and supporting the Committee in identifying potential soloists.

‘We have enjoyed over ten years of fantastic leadership from Dr Simon Lindley, but all good things come to an end and we are now looking forward to working with a new Conductor’ said Chair Chris Walker. ‘We plan well in advance, so the programme for next season is already scheduled, but the post-holder will play a key role in planning future schedules and choosing soloists to work with us, as well as leading auditions and of course, preparing us for concerts’.

Choir enjoys successful online AGM

Sheffield Bach Society held its AGM last week – on-line via Zoom. The meeting was attended by almost 40 members and was very successful.

Key elements were the presentation and approval of the Annual Report including the accounts, and the lifting of mandatory payment of the subscription fee for 2020-21. However, members were encouraged to consider paying their fees, or a portion of them, given the Society’s decision to continue to pay the Conductor and Accompanist.

The recent survey of members had revealed a willingness to start live rehearsals in a Covid-secure venue as soon as possible, and the Committee undertook to investigate this as soon as the current restrictions were lifted.
