Description

The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Santa Rosa, California, seeks a Director of Music to lead our adult Parish Choir, play organ and piano for worship, and partner with the rector in service planning. We envision this as a single Director of Music responsible for both organ and choir direction, though we are open to a conversation about separating these roles for the right candidates. We are a healthy, multigenerational parish (average Sunday attendance 157) with a strong love of music, a Casavant pipe organ, and a Parish Choir of about 15 volunteer singers who vest and sing from the chancel September through May.

Our musical life is grounded in the Anglican tradition — hymnody from The Hymnal 1982 and its supplements, choral repertoire from the Renaissance through the present — and we are also drawn to broadening our range with paperless music, gospel and spiritual traditions, Latin American music, and music from other cultures. We love to sing the liturgy. We value musical excellence, yet we prioritize the participation of all. We seek a musician who combines skill at the keyboard, in choral direction, and in liturgical planning with the warmth, patience, and pastoral instincts that ministry with volunteer musicians asks for.
