JOIN THE UPBEAT ARTS TEAM – GOLD COAST
Upbeat Arts is seeking an exceptional Choir Piano Accompanist to work with our new Gold Coast Choir. This role supports our Conductor in fostering a positive and inclusive environment, and contributing to the artistic and personal development of our members.
WHO IS UPBEAT ARTS?
Upbeat Arts provides group-based recovery programs tailored for long-term clients of Queensland Mental Health services, focusing on enhancing confidence, self-esteem, communication, and life skills. Our arts programs foster social connections, positive mental health, and overall well-being. Singing in an Upbeat Arts choir offers our members a supportive and enjoyable environment to connect with like-minded individuals.
As a non-government, non-profit organisation and accredited organisation, we are dedicated to transforming lives through the arts. Since launching our inaugural choir in Brisbane in 2014, followed by a second in North Brisbane in 2022, and more recently a third on the Sunshine Coast in June 2024, we continue to expand our impact. The new Gold Coast Choir is first part of the roll-out of 4 new choirs across South East Queensland. Additionally, we conduct two creative writing workshops each week for our members to enjoy.
YOUR ROLE
As an Upbeat Arts Accompanist, you will bring your musical skills to the team, and you’ll be collaborating closely with our Conductor. Upbeat Arts manages the operational aspects of the choir, including member and volunteer recruitment, communication, record-keeping, and all other logistical needs essential for sustaining a choir.
No two rehearsals will be the same, as you work with our team and our dedicated choir members and volunteer buddies.
Together, we pursue exciting performance opportunities, which you will help the choir prepare for.
DAYS AND TIMES
Our website provides all the details on this paid position, including how to apply.
