Musician, Gig (Paid Per Appearance), Trinity-Trinidad Episcopal Church: Haverhill, MA
Job Description
We are looking for a musician to accompany our 10am Sunday service on keyboard from July through September 2026, until we are ready to begin the search for a permanent music director this fall. The interim musician would be welcome to apply for the permanent position.
Our music is a mix of traditional Episcopal hymns and more contemporary Spanish songs, which are chosen by the clergy. We have a historic pipe organ (Aeolian-Skinner Op 998), and would welcome candidates who play organ. Our ideal candidate is fluent in English and Spanish.
The duties involve:
• Practicing all music, made available by Tuesday each week.
• Meet with the priest at 9:15am on Sunday to review the service
• Accompanying the 10am service
There are no administrative duties for this position.
Compensation is $200 per call, usually one call per week. (We are open to negotiate a higher rate for a trained organist.) In addition to Sunday morning service, the musician may be offered the opportunity to play at weddings or funerals as the need arises at the same rate.
We are willing to consider candidates available for some, but not all, Sundays.
