Choir Director Wanted for Fall 2026 for a Musical Choir in Umeå

About the position:

Hello!

We are looking for a cheerful and engaged choir director for a Musical Choir in Umeå.

The choir is open to everyone, with no audition required, and is aimed at adults who want to sing and share their interest with others.

Songs are already prepared with parts, recordings, lyrics, sheet music, etc., allowing you to focus solely on taking care of the members on-site without worrying about preparations.

Who are you?

You love working with people and are driven by helping individuals dare more and believe in themselves. You believe that singing can be the path to well-being and are happy to support people where they are in their vocal development. You believe in the power of choral singing and its ability to bring people together.

We believe you always come with a smile and know that when you take on the students, this might be their best moment of the whole week. We believe you have the understanding not to get stuck on individual parts but instead let the joy of singing flow in the room.

You have an education as a vocal pedagogue or equivalent.

Who are we?

For 10 years, VocalLife has led various types of singing activities, primarily in Lund but also in cities around Sweden, such as Malmö, Jönköping, Örebro, Norrköping, Helsingborg, and more. We love uniting people through song.

We know that when people sing together, we create a better and healthier society that benefits both the singer and those around them.

Furthermore, in an increasingly digital world, places that unite people are among the most important things that exist.

We love helping people grow through the community of song.

Compensation and future:

We prefer that you have a company and can invoice us, but we can also create a temporary position based on hours if that suits you better.

If you wish to lead several choirs in your local area, this can also be an opportunity.

We hope for a long-term collaboration. Therefore, we want to create the opportunity for you, if you wish, to change our agreement to a permanent position in the future, also adding vocal lessons, vocal ensembles, group singing, etc., in your local area if it is of interest. This is something we will discuss based on your wishes and our possibilities to find solutions together.

The position is currently a few hours per week. We prefer that you have another job alongside as your main source of income.

Contact us if you are interested or have questions. Send your CV and cover letter to [email protected] and mark the email with "UMEÅ Choir Director".

Looking forward to hearing from you!

NB: We are hiring continuously and may fill the position before the application deadline.

Best regards,

Ellen Sörensen, CEO
