Director of Development
Candidate Pack

Welcome

Led by Artistic Director Paul McCreesh, Gabrieli’s vision is of a vibrant society in
which inspirational choral music is accessible to and enjoyed by all. Our mission is to
change the cultural landscape through excellent performances, and to drive a revival
of singing in schools by delivering impactful participatory youth singing programmes.
Gabrieli is an internationally recognised choir and period instrument orchestra,
renowned for emotionally powerful performances of transformational music. Under
Paul McCreesh’s leadership, our musicians’ research and knowledge provides the
foundation for invigorating, imaginative interpretations that inspire audiences and
set us apart in a crowded market.
Gabrieli Roar is a youth singing programme working in partnership with school, youth
and church choirs nationwide. We increase access to great music and remove the
barriers between professional and participatory music-making, bringing people from
all walks of life together in immersive musical experiences.
Gabrieli’s Director of Development will play a pivotal part in enabling us to achieve
our ambitions, providing young people’s first experiences of choral music; building
sustainable, connected communities of performers, participants and audiences;
making culture welcoming and accessible to all; and challenging, exciting and

Thank you for your interest in this vital and exciting role.

Who we are
Why we’re here

Gabrieli occupies a unique position as an organisation in
which performance and education are equally valued
and important, sitting side-by-side in a mutually
beneficial partnership.

Our international reputation for excellence is derived
from ground-breaking, exciting and emotionally
powerful recordings and performances: they are the
bedrock of our brand.

Gabrieli Roar is characterised by that same excellence
and passion, and an unerring determination to engage
young people in core culture. Our work proves lack of
opportunity to be one of the greatest barriers to young
people’s enjoyment of great choral music; we are
determined to remove that barrier, to share the joy of
participatory music-making widely and generously.

Gabrieli

Gabrieli is a critically-acclaimed choir and
period instrument orchestra. Under the artistic
direction of founder Paul McCreesh, we  have
cultivated an international reputation for
excellence, innovation and ambition.

At the heart of Gabrieli is a collective of
principal musicians who have worked together
for decades, shaping interpretations and
building relationships with audiences at home
and abroad. Our ground-breaking
performances and recordings are rooted
equally in expert scholarship and an unerring
love of the music.

We are known for pushing the boundaries in all
that we do, from the scale of our forces to the
detail of our research. Recent successes
include new editions, recordings and an
ongoing series of performances of Purcell’s The
Fairy Queen and King Arthur; and the first ever
period-instrument recording of Elgar’s The
Dream of Gerontius, which won both
Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine awards.

acknowledged benefits of participatory music-making, expanding  young singers' ability to learn, building
confidence and improving both physical and mental health.

Gabrieli Roar is led by Paul McCreesh, whose ambition and driving passion for sharing great music with young
people is facilitated by the pedagogical expertise of Creative Directors Emily Dickens and Charles Béquignon-
