Director of Music

The ideal candidate will be responsible for managing the Music Ministry, including selecting music, approving music requested to be played at weddings and funerals, directing the choirs, serving as St. William's primary accompanist, and coordinating with its other musicians and singers (as well as guest musicians and singers), all to foster greater benefit from the Masses and other services at St. William by its parishioners and visitors. Will be the main musical accompanist and choir director for the Parish. The Director of Music/Main Accompanist is responsible for ensuring that there is appropriate music for such Masses, accompanied by the Parish's Secondary Accompanist and/or other musicians (either paid, if pre-approved by the Pastor and Parish Administrator, or volunteer). Weddings: Will meet with the bride/groom to plan music for weddings and will supervise and rehearse with outside singers/musicians and purchasing music (for a separate fee, if not already in the Music Ministry's library). Will direct the adult choir for the Christmas Masses as well as Easter Masses held in the church and, for any additional Masses held elsewhere (e.g., the Parish Hall or outdoors), will ensure that there is appropriate music for such Masses, including accompaniment by the Parish's Secondary Accompanist and/or other musicians (either paid, if pre-approved by the Pastor and Parish Administrator, or volunteer).
