Tenor and bass staff singers for Westport church
Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Westport, CT seeks a tenor and a bass to fill its staff singer positions in the 35-voice inter-generational Parish Choir. Repertoire would be considered standard English cathedral with occasional other periods and styles of music performed. The church also has a well-regarded Music & Arts program. The CHT choir is welcoming, inclusive and friendly (as is the church), sings a lot of material, and works hard to achieve good results. Rehearsals are fast-paced and cover a lot of music; excellent sight-reading skills are expected from the staff singers. Regular weekly choir calls are Thursday evening 7:30-9:30 and Sunday morning 8:30- 0:30 (September 4, 2025 to June 21, 2026). Additional services throughout the choir season include All Souls’ (November 2), Lessons & Carols (December 14), Christmas Eve (December 24–two services), Choral Evensong and Holy Week (Maundy Thursday; Good Friday; Easter Vigil; Easter Day) services. Other singing opportunities, such as the weekly Sunday afternoon Contemplative Eucharist (which is a very nice low-key service requiring a soloist), weddings, funeral and memorial services, and periodic Chorister training sessions are available as they arise throughout the year. Remuneration is currently $120 per call. If interested, please send an e-mail, along with a brief CV, to Douglas Keilitz, Director of Music Ministries & Organist, at music@chtwestport.org. You will receive a prompt reply and I look forward to hearing from you.Posted 8/7/2025. Expires 10/7/2025.
