Collaborative Pianist/Rehearsal Accompanist
The Brandywine Valley Chorale (BVC) is seeking an experienced collaborative pianist to join our artistic
team beginning in January 2027. The ideal candidate for this part-time position is a musician who is much
more than an accomplished pianist: someone who has a deep understanding of the unique role of the
accompanist as a musical partner, educator, and leader in rehearsals in many ways.
The ideal candidate will combine exceptional piano skills with a strong background of experience in choral
music and the flexibility to adapt to the ensemble’s needs in both rehearsal and performance.
See attached BVC Piano Position.pdf for more specific information.
Interested applicants should submit the following by email to Nathan Reiff, Artistic Director of the BVC, at
[email protected] no later than November 15, 2026 for full consideration:
1. Cover letter describing your relevant experience as well as strengths as a collaborative pianist and
musical leader in a choral setting.
2. Resume/CV
3. 2-3 audio and/or video recordings of your playing in a collaborative setting (choral rehearsal/
performance recordings preferred but not required).
4. Names and contact information for at least three professional references.
• The Search Committee will review applications as they are received.
• All applicants will receive a response.
• Selected applicants will be invited to audition by playing for a portion of a BVC rehearsal and
interviewing with the Search Committee in November 2026.
• We anticipate making an offer by early December 2026 at the latest.
