Director and Accompanist Sought for ElderChoir

The following announcement comes from the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission:

Do you know of any musicians with the skills and interest to develop a singing/choral program for older adults?  The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission and the City's Department of Older Adult Services are looking for a professional vocal coach/director and an accompanist for our collaborative Creative Aging Program’s new Choral Initiative, a program that introduces and engages adults 50 years and older in high quality arts experiences. In the first 2 years of the initiative, we will develop an ongoing older adult singing group at Ethel Hart Senior Center in Sacramento. Plans for future years include developing other similar singing groups in other sites in the city that could collaborate with the Hart group to produce larger events in celebration of their growing elder singing community. The emphasis will be primarily on developing the older voice rather than focusing exclusively on preparing material for concerts.  

Please forward this invitation to apply to skilled musicians who you think can make it a success.  For desired qualifications, compensation, and details about the application process, prospective candidates can review the full RFQ. Application packets are due by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, November 25, 2013.
