Music Director Search

MetWinds has announced a search for our next Music Director! We are officially accepting applications for this position with a submission deadline of January 15, 2025. Finalists will have the opportunity to audition for the position by conducting the MetWinds for one concert during the 2025-2026 season including the rehearsals leading to that concert. Our rehearsals are held at the St. John of Damascus Church in Dedham, MA and regular indoor season concerts are held at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum in Lexington, MA. MetWinds seeks candidates with extensive wind band conducting experience at a high level, however, this long- term position encompasses much more than conducting. It requires musicianship, artistic direction, leadership, a vision for the future, and an ability to make those dreams a reality. The music director works closely with our all-volunteer board of directors towards that end.

A complete application submission will consist of:

• Letter of application and resume
• References
• A list of music conducted in performance during the last 5 years
• Internet links of audio/video recordings of you conducting concert bands in rehearsal or performance

Application submissions or requests for additional information about the position can be sent to apply@metwinds.org
