Large, friendly 75-voice women’s chorus, formed in Sept. 2012 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is seeking a new accompanist for the 2013-2014 season.

Included in those numbers are two large “community” concerts held in May/June and December, with proceeds benefitting local charities.

 

In June 2014, the ensemble is traveling to Italy for a performance tour. The accompanist may have the opportunity to accompany the group abroad and attend the tour free of charge with the exception of personal expenses.
