Orchestra Assistant and Music Librarian
This role entails a range of responsibilities, making it the ideal role for someone looking to further their experience in classical music administration. You will provide full support to the Orchestra Manager, sometimes deputising as required, working together to ensure the smooth-running of all activities. You will manage Southbank Sinfonia’s in-house Music Library, acquiring all chamber and orchestral music required, and play a central part in the coordination of auditions and interviews for each year’s new orchestra.
The position may particularly suit someone who has taken their first steps in the classical music sector and is now looking for a role that will challenge them, granting them fresh experience and opportunities as part of a small team. Candidates should already have some experience working in a musical or performing arts organisation, in paid employment or through extensive internship(s). You should know what it takes to work in a busy arts organisation, able to balance numerous priorities and fulfil them all with efficiency.
