This is a great opportunity for a new University Organist to join the University’s Student Services.
The successful postholder will serve as the principal keyboard musician for the University, responsible for all aspects of organ playing, providing world-class organ accompaniment for chapel services, graduation ceremonies, and public recitals. The post-holder accompanies the Chapel Choir, and acts as a custodian of the university's pipe organs and a mentor to student organ scholars. The Organist would also provide occasional support for the Director of Chapel Music, as the need arises and upon reasonable notice.
