Are you the one we're seeking?
For 25 years, Bells of the Cascades has been a pioneer in the handbell community, and we're seeking a director who can continue that tradition.
Four excellent musicians have held the position of director, and we are looking for a similarly qualified person to continue the work they have started.
Involvement in Bells of the Cascades is incredibly rewarding. The sense of accomplishment we get from preparing and performing advanced level music with a high degree of musicianship is very satisfying.
Who we're looking for and how to apply.
Major duties include:
- selecting music
- conducting rehearsals and performances
- attending and participating in educational activities
- participating in auditions for new members
Successful applicants will possess the following:
- excellent musical knowledge
- strong directing skills
- ability to work collaboratively with other musicians
- good communication skills
- arranging and composing skills a plus
Bells of the Cascades has traditionally rehearsed weekly for 2½ hours; however, is open to non-traditional means of scheduling and rehearsing. Candidates not in the Portland metro area with innovative ideas about creating and directing music are encouraged to apply. This is a paid position.
Applications for this position must be received by April 30, 2016.
