St Michael and All Angels Church, Christchurch, New Zealand

St Michael's is an Anglo-Catholic inner-city church with a longstanding music history. An established adult choir sings at Festivals, Sunday Masses and Evensongs. There is an active Young Voices programme for primary school aged children, who currently sing at mass monthly. The repertoire is traditional and supported by a three-manual Bevington Organ and a Bosendorfer Grand Piano.

Approximately 15 hours per week. If an applicant was a trained teacher, the opportunity to teach music in the adjacent St Michael’s Church School could be explored.
