Music Staff
The two members of the Music Staff serve as accompanists, coaches for principals and directors of the ensemble. General rehearsal hours are 9:30 a.m. -12:00 p.m. and 1:30 -5:00 p.m. At least one Associate will be playing in the pit for each show, there may be opportunities to conduct one of the two weekly matinees from the keyboard.
In addition to the regular season of nine shows, CLOC proudly participates in events that elevate our local community of Falmouth, MA. Examples of such events include an Independence Day Concert, an annual orchestra concert at the Cape Cod Conservatory, as well as volunteer-based opportunities such as performing at donor events.
Successful candidates will be graduate students or third or fourth year undergraduates with a solid background in piano, coaching, and choral conducting. They must be excellent pianists, able to play dance breaks, coach from the keyboard, and cover keyboard books in the pit. While one show is being performed in the evening, the following week's show is being rehearsed during the day.
