Cool Choir is in search of a fun, knowledgeable individual to lead it’s new YEG location! Check out post below!

Cool Choir is a new concept in community choirs – direct from the UK. This is a non-auditioned, all-inclusive adult rock and pop choir experience performing original and exclusive arrangements of songs by legendary groups and artists – in rich harmony.

Already successful in Calgary, there are nearly 400 members of public singing weekly across multiple locations and now Cool Choir has grown to be Calgary’s largest, recreational choir and the only non-auditioned adult rock and pop choir of its kind in the city – just two years since launch.

Our fun, fast growing, young and one-of-a-kind vibrant company is seeking an exceptionally talented, energetic candidate to launch Cool Choir in Edmonton in September 2018.

Working alongside the company’s Director, you will launch and run this community based business and your skills as a natural leader, along with your ability to inspire and motivate those around you will ensure its success. You will be self-employed and running your own business, so bring your entrepreneurial skills to the party!

You will have a bubbly, engaging and sometimes quirky personality (personality is key to this role!) and like us, you will have a passion for rock and pop music.  Our ideal candidate will have advanced piano skills but a formal background in music is not necessary.  Your boundless energy, ear for harmony, ability to hold a tune and your enthusiasm for technology and social media will keep your members wanting more.

This is a role requiring a long-term commitment and would be suited to new graduate musicians, teachers/vocal coaches looking for a new challenge, professional musicians looking for a second income or anyone with the skills required, looking for an entrepreneurial business opportunity.  You must:

  • Be able to read music
  • Have the ability to network, promote and be comfortable being interviewed by the media
  • Be exceptionally comfortable with technology and social media
  • Have the desire to motivate, inspire and engage others
  • Be a great communicator
  • Have a bubbly, engaging and quirky personality
  • Be energetic and vibrant
  • Driven, highly motivated and ambitious
  • Have great leadership and people skills
  • Have endless enthusiasm and energy
  • Be able to take creative direction and guidance on occasion
  • Car owner/driver essential
  • Own or be willing to purchase a portable piano, pa system and microphone

 

The following skills are desirable but not essential;

Knowledge of music software and recording

Ability to arrange music

If you are looking to elevate your own status as an independent artist or build a fan base this role is not for you

You must be permanently resident or have citizenship status in Canada and legally allowed to work

Full training will be given and for the right candidate, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a growing company.

Please submit your resume to [email protected] along with a link to a 1 minute video uploaded to You-tube showing the fun side of your personality (this does not need to be music related).

Deadline for applications is February 28th and whilst we thank everyone for their time, only suitable candidates will be contacted.

After a decade of leadership under Cindy Jefferies and Susan Knopp, 100+ Women Who Care Red Deer (100+ WWCRD) is proud to celebrate 10 years of supporting local charities and the announcement of Bre Fitzpatrick and Lane Tomalty as its new co-leaders. This marks an exciting new chapter for the group, which has made a significant impact on not-for-profit organizations in Central Alberta.

Cindy and Susan have led 100+ WWCRD with vision, dedication, and a commitment to empowering women to lead and inspire change. Under their stewardship, the organization has raised over $630,000 for local charities by hosting 4 annual 1-hour meetings. Since 2015, more than 36 local charities have received funding through the group.

Reflecting on their tenure, Cindy and Susan stated:

“Leading 100 Women has been an honour and a privilege. When we began this journey, we didn’t know where it would go – we simply loved the simple, elegant, and fun ‘100 Who Care’ concept and thought it was a great fit for our community. We are grateful to the many women who have stood with us. They are the magic of the organization! We are confident Bre and Lane will steward this leadership role well and we look forward to supporting it – just not from behind the microphone!”

Bre and Lane bring a dynamic energy and fresh perspective to the organization. Both have been involved with the group and have been mentored by Susan and Cindy over the past year. They are eager to continue the collaboration, connection, and local support this team of women have established in Red Deer.

In their joint statement, Bre and Lane shared:

“We are humbled to step into this role and build on the incredible foundation Cindy and Susan have laid. Many needs are at the doorstep of our community and in the hearts and minds of our members. We know a powerful, caring, and united group of individuals can play a huge role in driving change and breaking barriers.

To celebrate this milestone and leadership transition, the 100+ WWCRD hosted the final meeting of 2024 on November 25th at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club. The evening featured reflections from Cindy and Susan, the selection of the Salvation Army as the charity of choice, an opportunity for members to connect with Bre and Lane as they outline their vision for the organization’s next chapter, and a toast to 10 years.
