We seek a part-time music director to play both organ and piano at our principal service on Sunday mornings as well as direct the choir and grow our music program. Initially, this will be a one quarter time position, approximately 10 hours per week. We prefer our Music director to have knowledge and experience in the Episcopal Church’s liturgical and music tradition. This position is salaried and will be paid every other week.

We are a growing, faithful community that appreciates music. We have an all volunteer choir of ten singers. Our congregation heartily sings in a variety of music styles. As an intergenerational community we welcome interested children and youth to participate musically.

We look forward to continuing to grow musically and in numbers of musicians. The new director will need to have vision, and the leadership ability to grow our music program. Our parish leadership is open to growing the position as the program grows and as we are able to support this.

We use all three venues during the year. Applicants need to be able to lead a congregation with organ and piano.

Responsibilities include:

- Planning music for worship in consultation with the rector.
- Leading music for the primary worship service on Sundays as well as special services in the liturgical year. Special services include, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, The Great Vigil of Easter, an extra service on Easter Sunday, Christmas eve, and Christmas Day.
- Leading the St. Mary’s choir at the principal Sunday service during the program year, including one rehearsal per week. (Choir program year to be defined and agreed upon between Music Director and Rector.)
- Extra choir rehearsals as needed to prepare special music or for major feast days (Christmas, Easter).
- Include other instrumentalists/musicians if possible as budget and opportunities permit.
- Creating additional opportunities to welcome members and guests to enjoy music at St. Mary’s, such as concerts (indoor or outdoor) Choral evensong, Advent lessons and Carols.
