  • Organ Scholarship 2021-2022
    Organ Scholarship 2021-2022 The Dean and Chapter of St Davids Cathedral wishes to appoint an Organ Scholar for the academic year beginning in September 2021. The scholarship is an outstanding opportunity for a gap-year or post-graduate organist to gain valuable training and experience as a church musician and play a full part in the musical life of a busy cathedral. The period of the appointment is usually for one year with the possibility to extend for a further year if appropriate. Please note: all the details shown here are subject to change depending on developing government guidance, rules and laws surrounding COVID-19. The Organ Scholarship was set up in 2016. Previous holders of the position have gone on to hold organist-posts at Tewkesbury Abbey; Ely Cathedral; Magdalen College, Oxford and St George’s Chapel, Windsor. The current post-holder, Michael D’Avanzo, has been appointed Organ Scholar of Southwell Minster. The scholarship is generously supported by the Friends of Cathedral Music (FCM), and by an anonymous donor who wishes to support and encourage the performance of Tudor church music at the cathedral. The successful candidate will have an interest in, and be willing to spend an appropriate portion of their time studying, performing and promoting Tudor music. St Davids St Davids is situated in the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, West Wales. It is surrounded by some of the finest coastline in Europe and offers an unrivalled range of outdoor activities including walking, rock climbing, surfing, swimming and hiking. St Davids is an extremely popular tourist destination and hosts around half a million visitors every year.

  • Organ Scholar 2021-2022
    Organ Scholar 2021-2022 Remuneration: £2,500 Reporting to: Director of Music Work base: Coventry Cathedral and its offices and occasionally other locations as required. Length of Scholarship: Ten months from 1st October 2021 Application Deadline: 2 November 2020 at 11:59pm Audition/Interview: 18 November 2020 or on a mutually agreeable date Date of Issue: 1 October 2020 __________________________________________________________________________ The Organ Coventry Cathedral’s organ is well-known as an excellent instrument both for recitals and for accompanying services. With four manuals, nearly five thousand pipes and an eclectic stop-list, it is a very versatile instrument, accommodating most schools of music with integrity. Its vibrant sound (and the Cathedral’s cavernous acoustic) makes it particularly appropriate for 19th and 20th century works. Built by Harrison and Harrison of Durham, it was fully cleaned in 2001 and there is an on-going programme of restoration. The Choirs There are three choirs associated with the Cathedral: The Cathedral Choir (three sections: Boy Choristers, Girl Choristers, Clerks & Scholars) The Chamber Choir (adult mixed voices) Coventry Cathedral Chorus (formerly Saint Michaels’ Singers) In term time, the Cathedral Choir sings on Sundays at the 10.30 a.m. Cathedral Eucharist and 4.00 p.m. Choral Evensong. Wednesday 5.15pm Evensong is sung by the Boy Choristers, and Thursdays by the Girl Choristers. Out of term time visiting choirs frequently sing on the weekends and occasionally Choral Evensong on Saturdays is sung by a visiting choir. As well as before each sung service the boys rehearse twice a week, the girls, Clerks and Scholars once.
