The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer is hiring a Tenor section leader starting September, 2026. The successful candidate will join Redeemer’s 25-member adult choir for a minimum of 2 calls per week: Thursday evening rehearsals (7:30pm-9pm) and our Sunday morning, 10:30am Eucharist.

Base season earnings are around $9,550.00, but can be much higher depending on additional services. The choir season runs from the second Sunday in September through the second Sunday in June; usually Trinity Sunday depending on the church calendar.
Redeemer’s choral repertoire is extensively broad and fulfilling, ranging from Renaissance polyphony to present day.

Therefore, candidates interested in this position should ideally be experienced in the repertoire and traditions of the Anglican Church. Exceptional sight-reading skills are a must, as well as the ability to lead and support your section.
