Artistic Director/Conductor

Festival Chorale Oregon, a Salem-based civic choir now in its 48th season, seeks a new Conductor/Artistic Director at the retirement of our founder, Dr. Solveig Holmquist.

Philosophically committed to being self-auditioning, the ensemble primarily focuses on performing the major choral/orchestral masterworks, but often explores other repertoire. We look forward to sharing the successful candidate’s artistic vision.

Interested parties may receive additional information about the organization and the audition process by emailing [email protected]. Auditions will be held during the fall of 2027 and spring of 2028, with a formal passing of the baton at the downbeat of the 2028-2029 season.
