Welcome to the website of The Stondon Singers

Conductor

The Stondon Singers, an accomplished chamber choir specialising in a cappella singing from Byrd to Britten and beyond, seeks a conductor to succeed Hilary Punnett, who has been appointed Assistant Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable person, who is keen to develop the choir and challenge its abilities and repertoire. Experience of conducting and keyboard skills are essential, together with a deep understanding of voices and vocal technique. The post commences in September 2025.

Rehearsals: Tuesdays 7.45-10 pm in Chelmsford. Fees in line with MU rates.

We are a mixed Chamber Choir, rehearsing at The Church of the Ascension in Maltese Road, Chelmsford CM1 2PB.  We enjoy considerable critical acclaim and perform several concerts a year.  Although formed to sing the music of William Byrd, the choir of about 25 singers now performs a wide-ranging repertoire, whilst remaining committed to music of the Renaissance.

We occasionally have vacancies for new members, who will need to be confident enough to hold their own line. Good sight reading skills are a must. Our rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 7:45pm to 10pm.
