Classic car man Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Just because the Cathedral has been low key about this, David, doesn't mean my post was inaccurate, but yes, this appointment is confirmed, else I wouldn't have posted to the group! Notwithstanding personal contact, this from facebook a couple of weeks ago: Choral Eucharist at Liverpool Cathedral is at 10.30am and will be sung by the boys’ girls’ and adult voices of the Cathedral Choir, directed by newly appointed Director of Music, Stephen Mannings and accompanied by Ian Tracey, Cathedral Organist.

Thanks for confirming this. I did not mean to call into question the integrity of your post it's just that as you say the Cathedral has not publicised the appointment.

David Cynan Jones Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 New appointment at Worcester College, Oxford. Worcester College is delighted to be building on its long and distinguished musical history with the appointment of a new Director of College Music. Helen Smee joins the College as the first holder of this position. Since 2011 Helen has been Director of Music in the south-west London parish of St Mary Merton, where her work included the considerable expansion of the choral and organ provision for young people in the local area. A talented choral trainer with strong interests in widening representation and participation in music, Helen is also director of the Frideswide Voices of Christ Church, the resident girls’ choir in the cathedral, which had its beginnings in Worcester College Chapel in 2014 and which sang here for several years. Helen studied at Cambridge and at the Royal Academy of Music, at which she has recently been made Associate. She has also worked with the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and co-founded the Voices of London Festival in 2013. https://www.worc.ox.ac.uk/about/news/new-director-college-music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Furse Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Lucian would have been so proud. This is a fantastic appointment. There is no finer choir trainer in the 'cathedral'/college world; John's has just got better and better. It begs the question what will happen to the mooted change of instrument at St John's.

sjf1967 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Well... beautiful liturgy, a wonderful building, experienced and committed adult professional singers, no undergraduate flakiness in terms of attendance and reliability, no annual angst when your organ scholar doesn't make their A Level grades, freedom to pursue other activities as and when you like, the absence of college politics.....Oxbridge DoM jobs are not the glamorous things they might appear to be, for all the glossy accoutrements that come with them.
