Bristol Choral Society is advertising for a new Musical Director, as Adrian Partington is stepping down after fifteen years in the post. Further details may be found here.
There are a lot of local changes going on, as Bath Camerata has recently changed director and I’m told that the Paragon Singers are shortly going to do so. In each case the MD is or has been there for a couple of decades. I’m not sure who will hold the record for longest tenure round here after they are replaced, though if you include church choirs Peter King and John Marsh have some claim.
The transition to a new director can be a tricky time, as anyone who was in the Brandon Hill Singers may recall.
