Following on from the success of the La Folia Evening Songs and Voices in the Landscape concert, La Folia Music is keen to expand the inspirational work that we do with musicians, actors, visual artists and writers. We are looking to recruit new Trustees, so if you can see yourself as a future Chairperson or Honorary Treasurer, please contact La Folia at info@lafoliamusic.org. We would be happy to have an informal conversation to discuss your potential future involvement.
La Folia is a music charity and production company bringing together instrumentalists, singers, actors, dancers, visual artists and writers to create new music, original projects and ground-breaking performances under the artistic directorship of Howard Moody. At the heart of La Folia is the core value of transforming music by making extraordinary performances in unexpected places, breaking through conventional barriers, working with people in challenging circumstances and with artists of the highest quality. We aim to challenge the idea of who gets to make, perform and experience live performance.
La Folia’s Trustees play a vital role in delivering the charity’s objectives and are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the organisation. You will be expected to challenge and contribute to ensure that our governance is robust, transparent, and compliant with legislation.
We hold 4 board meetings every year and sub-committees when the need arises. All our meetings are currently online to ensure they are accessible and inclusive. We may have occasional in-person meetings at a suitable location, always with a virtual option. This is a voluntary role, though reasonable expenses can be claimed.
To apply, please send a copy of your CV plus a cover letter (max 2 pages) to the Chair of the Board, outlining your interest in the charity and what you would bring to the Board.
The closing date for application is 30 September 2024. Shortlisted candidates will initially be invited to meet with our current Co-Chairs and you will then be invited to join a Board meeting in the autumn before confirmation of your appointment, which is subject to DBS checks.
