Seeking Choir/Youth Choir Accompanist (Elgin, IL)
  • (Please note: This is the parish where I'm employed, and I'm seeking an accompanist.)

    St. Thomas More’s music ministry draws the faithful closer to God with a repertoire
    steeped in traditions old and new. We are seeking an accompanist adept in multiple
    musical styles to help us continue our legacy of excellent musicianship.

    8:30 p.m. and sings at the 10 a.m. Mass each Sunday from September until
    Corpus Christi, plus special occasions (Confirmation, Christmas, Holy Week,
    etc.).
    • Accompanist for youth choir (grades 3-8). This choir will be re-formed this fall.
    Weekly practice date/time TBA; the choir will sing once a month from October to
    May, occasionally with the adult choir.

    Desired Skills:
    • Proficiency at organ and piano, including playing hymns, solo repertoire, and
    improvisation
    • Strong sight-reading
    • Understanding of Catholic liturgy (or willingness to learn)
    • Ability to assist with conducting and teaching choir parts is a plus

    Audition required. Please send introductory e-mail with résumé to Tim Horneman,
    Director of Liturgy and Music: music@stthomasmorechurch.org.
