Organ Scholar 2025/2026

1st Sept - 31st July (£4,200 Remuneration)

Coventry Cathedral’s organ is well-known as an excellent instrument both for recitals and for accompanying services. With four manuals, nearly five thousand pipes and an eclectic stop-list, it is a very versatile instrument, accommodating most schools of music with integrity. Its vibrant sound (and the Cathedral’s cavernous acoustic) makes it particularly appropriate for 19th and 20th century works.

We are looking for an Organ Scholar to join us for the academic year 25/26, who is a skilled musician and organist highly skilled as both soloist and accompanist, and with the confidence and skills necessary to conduct choirs and to train young singers. With experience of liturgical accompaniment, knowledge or experience in the training of children's voices, and familiarity with Safeguarding guidelines and procedures will be essential. A warm personality, a good sense of humour with an appreciation of the wide range in the musical styles that are a part of Cathedral worship. There may be a possibility of renting a room in shared accommodation on Cathedral property.

This position is subject to DBS clearance.
