Job description

Overview

Finchley Children's Music Group (FCMG), founded in 1958 with Benjamin Britten later becoming its President, is London’s leading children’s choir with over 200 singers aged between 4 and 18 across six choirs. Under the direction of Grace Rossiter since 2001, the choirs are well known for their natural, vibrant vocal quality.

In addition to our own concerts, FCMG is regularly invited to take part in performances of larger choral works with leading conductors and orchestras and in recordings for radio, television and film. In the past year this has included working with the Aurora Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and BBC Ten Pieces. FCMG has an ongoing commitment to new music for children’s voices and seeks to commission new repertoire from leading UK composers.

Historically FCMG has had a high level of volunteer involvement, and this is planned to continue but within an enhanced operational structure. The Executive Director leads the operational side of the organisation, working in close co-operation with the Artistic Director and reporting to the Board of Trustees.

We welcome applications from experienced, effective administrators with a love of music, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, disability, age and background, reflecting and representing the diversity of the north London community.
