Inspirational Choir Seeks New Choral Leader

The North West is fortunate to have one of the country’s few dedicated Choirs for people living with or beyond cancer.

Founded in June 2012 Bolton Cancer Voices is proud to have been a trailblazer in harnessing the therapeutic benefits of singing for health.

A decade on they are looking to recruit a new Musical Director to inspire, guide and challenge them going forward. The ideal candidate will have experience of conducting amateur Choirs, a broad and diverse knowledge of choral repertoire and a commitment to the delivery of musical excellence in a fun and inclusive way.

Karen Elliott – Founder & Chair of the Choir said:-

‘This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of something very special! It’s important that potential applicants understand and support the Choir’s ethos; appreciate the health challenges our members may face and have the capacity to deliver fun, uplifting, inspirational rehearsals.

After more than two years apart due to Covid, the Choir is more than ready to reunite and get back to doing what we love: with a growing waiting list for new members the pressure is on to find that exceptional individual who has the professional skills and experience together with the necessary personal attributes to bring us back together and ensure we are the best we can be!

We’re tremendously proud of all we’ve achieved to date and look forward to scaling new heights under the baton of our next maestro’.
