This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of Suffolk’s premier community choirs.
Following the planned retirement of long-standing Music Director Geoff Lavery in 2026, Phoenix Singers is inviting applications from accomplished and inspiring choral conductors to guide the choir into its next artistic chapter.
📍 Based in Framlingham, Phoenix Singers is a thriving community choir of 60–70 voices, known for its high-quality performances and ambitious programming. The choir presents three concerts annually, with recent highlights including:
⭐ Bach’s St John Passion
⭐ Opera Stars: an evening of operatic arias and choruses, with exceptional professional soloists
⭐ Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony (in collaboration with Beccles Choral Society at Snape Maltings Concert Hall).
Concerts are regularly held in The Chapel of Framlingham College.
Phoenix Singers are looking for a conductor with:
– Proven experience in choral leadership
– Passion for engaging singers of all levels
– Vision to build on its musical legacy and community spirit
📅 Formal applications open January 2026. Closing date 28 February 2026.
