longtime director gloria Hilliard announcES HER RETIREMENT
Longtime Director Gloria Hilliard To Step Down This Summer
The VILLAGE VOICES CHORALE, a spirited community chorus for adults who love to sing, is seeking a new Director, as its beloved longtime director Gloria Hilliard has decided to step down this summer. She announced that the group’s upcoming concert “Songs of the Silver Screen,” to be performed at the Sherr Forum May 30 and 31, will be her last after more than three decades of distinguished service.
Founded in 1969, the 60+ voice chorale delights its listeners twice annually with concerts at the Scherr Forum Theatre at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center Thousand Oaks. A portion of the proceeds of every concert goes to support vocal school music programs and provides scholarships to college students majoring in voice.
The Director leads the chorus in weekly rehearsals from August through December and January through May as well as at public performances and is responsible for auditioning new singers, hiring musicians, helping to select music for each concert, and serving as principal creative director for group’s activities. Qualified candidates should have significant credentials in musicianship as well as experience leading a chorus or choir of comparable size and mission. While the singers are volunteers, this is a paid part-time position. The chorus is based in Thousand Oaks and currently rehearses at the United Methodist Church of Westlake.
The chorus seeks to engage applicants for the position in the next few weeks, with a goal of making a final selection prior to the start of the chorus’ next semester.
Interested candidates should send resumes, bios and references to Jerry Shaw at jerry.shaw@csun.edu and Chris Alexander at cgahorseman@gmail.com.
