Job Description
Harvard University seeks a Director of Choral Activities (DCA) with a distinguished record of artistic leadership and extensive experience conducting collegiate choral ensembles.
The DCA is responsible for the largest choral program at Harvard, which is made up of six distinct choirs including the undergraduate Holden Choruses comprised of the Harvard Glee Club, the Radcliffe Choral Society, and Harvard Radcliffe Collegium Musicum. The DCA is the principal conductor for the Holden Choruses. Each chorus has an active concert schedule that includes on campus performances and periodic tours when school is not in session. The DCA is assisted by an associate conductor and other staff.
The DCA conducts auditions, selects repertoire, leads and coordinates rehearsals with the support of choral staff, works closely with student leaders, alumni foundations, and academic and administrative colleagues across the campus. The DCA is a joint appointment of the Office for the Arts at Harvard and Department of Music. She/he will hold the position of Senior Lecturer (or a position of similar rank, depending on qualifications and experience), and will teach one course per semester in the Department of Music.
At least eight years' experience in conducting mixed choruses and major symphonic-choral works, as well as comprehensive knowledge of Western choral literature from the Renaissance to the present, for mixed chorus, and for men's and/or women's chorus are required. Masters Degree required and Doctorate strongly preferred. Expertise in conducting symphonic-choral works, knowledge in the performance practices of prior eras, and demonstrable evidence of the ability to achieve the highest artistic standards in performance. Demonstrated excellence in teaching is desired.
