OVERVIEW OF GROUP

The A Cappella Singers is a non-profit chorus of adult treble voices based in Natick, Massachusetts, under the direction of Dr. Randy McGee. This auditioned group sings a variety of musical styles, including classical, modern, spiritual, and secular music. We perform two seasonal concerts per year; one in winter, and another in spring. We do not rehearse or perform in the summer months. Despite our name--a charming artifact of the group’s humble beginnings--we primarily perform and rehearse with piano accompaniment. Current enrollment is 18 singers who come from a variety of musical backgrounds and represent a broad range of ages. We are experienced vocalists who have passed an audition, and we read music fluently. The membership is currently growing. We are celebrating our 60th year!

JOB DESCRIPTION AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The A Cappella Singers is an equal opportunity employer.
