Music Director (Part Time – Flexible Hours)

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of La Crosse, a dynamic liberal religious fellowship, seeks a part-time Music Director. This position is responsible for directing (and rehearsing) a choir, selecting and supporting musical ensemble groups, securing or providing musical accompaniment (piano or other instrument!) as needed for Sunday services, and selecting service music in collaboration with a Sunday Service planning team. Candidates should have experience in performing live music, working with a choir, and an ability to work collaboratively. The Music Director will lead the choir and provide accompaniment two Sundays a month and direct choir practices as needed. On other Sundays in the month, the Music Director establishes a schedule of volunteer and stipend ensembles, soloists, and accompaniment to facilitate congregational singing and to provide music to support the theme and feel of each service. Exact weekly hours will vary depending on programming and are flexible, but we anticipate the Music Director working roughly 8 hours per week for approximately 40 weeks per year between August and June. Pay is $22.70/hr. The Fellowship does not hold services on several holidays and special occasions and not all services require live music. There is a small budget for additional musicians and a substitute accompanist, if needed. 

Extensive knowledge of Unitarian Universalism is not required at the time of hire, but a willingness to develop an understanding of UU values and music is expected. We have a large UU musical library available to select music from, and the Music Director will coordinate with the minister, Sunday Service & Music Team, and presenters in order to choose music. We welcome applicants regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity or religious background.

To Apply, submit a completed resume and Employment Application to admin@uulacrosse.org with the subject “Music Director Application”.

A completed Voluntary Disclosure form will also be required to run a background check before hire.
