KJV Part-time Administrator – we’re hiring!

We are seeking a part-time, self-employed administrator to facilitate the running of the choir. The successful candidate will start a handover period starting later this autumn working alongside our very experienced outgoing administrator of sixteen years.

The choir consists of five groups of different age ranges, all of which rehearse on Saturday mornings during term-time (10 rehearsals/term). The successful candidate will need to be present on these mornings at King’s College School on West Road, Cambridge, as well as spending time during the week working from home. The post averages approximately seventy hours per year, mostly during school term. The administrator also attends termly meetings of the KJV Board of Trustees as an observer, termly meetings with the Director of Music, and safeguarding training as required.

Summer News 2024

What an exciting term we had, with our wonderful summer concert in King’s College Chapel and a visit by members of Tenebrae Choir.

Our autumn term will see the birth of a new choir, KJV Youth Choir for boys and girls in years 10-13.

Another successful KJV year

KJV has kept its membership singing throughout the pandemic with weekly rehearsals on Zoom, or more recently, with blended rehearsals with a roster of singers attending either live rehearsals or at home on Zoom. We can’t wait until we can also return to live concerts, hopefully next term!

Rotary Christmas Concert

Thanks to King’s Junior Voices who sang beautifully at the Rotary’s Christmas concert on the 8th December accompanied by Adam Begley. The evening raised approx. £3500 for the Arthur Rank Hospice and the Cambridge Churches Project for the Homeless.

KJV staff and children wish you all a Merry Christmas.
