Accompanist – Choir with No Name Coventry

The Choir with No Name’s mission is to provide a safe environment for all people who have experienced homelessness or exclusion to enjoy singing and to build their confidence and skills along the way.  We currently run choirs in Birmingham, London, Brighton, Cardiff, Liverpool, Sheffield and Coventry of approximately 30 members.

Background

Each choir rehearses 47 weeks of the year and is accompanied by a pianist. We play pop, rock, soul etc and you’d need to be able to read from guitar chords. You’d be working closely with the Choir Director, Joe Novelli, and also be supported by the Choir Manager, Sally Debiage. 

Coventry choir meets each Wednesday evening in Coventry City Centre at 5:45pm for a cuppa.  Rehearsal starts at 6.15pm and goes on until 8pm or so, when the group sit down to dinner cooked by members of the wonderful team. We finish and leave the venue at 8:45pm.

The post pays £57 per session and includes a small amount of preparation time.  It would best suit someone who is keen to gain experience playing in a community setting and who would like to help enrich the lives of its members by becoming a part of our welcoming and supportive community.  You will be accompanying the rehearsals beside our choir director and will enjoy a free hot meal with everyone afterwards, so will have a chance to be part of the community.
