Principal Cellist

Principal Cellist

Monday, 31 July 2017 (All day)

Dave Flynn’s Irish Memory Orchestra are seeking an outstanding cross-genre musician for the key role of Principal Cellist.

The principal cellist we select will be an outstanding classically-trained cellist with excellent ability in traditional Irish music. Ability and experience in other styles including jazz is ideal. Excellent teaching skills are important too. Please note our musicians memorise the music for each concert, so memorisation skills are essential.

This role provides guaranteed freelance orchestral and chamber music work and opportunities to perform around the world with some of Ireland’s leading musicians. Prior IMO events have taken place in Moscow, South Korea and Ireland’s National Concert Hall with guests including Martin Hayes, Dennis Cahill and Liz Carroll.

Our next events which the Principal Cellist must be available for are from 1st-5th November 2017. This includes a major concert in Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin with special guest Mairtín O’Connor.

To apply please send a full CV and cover letter alongside various recorded examples of your playing to IMO Artistic Director/Founder Dr. Dave Flynn – director [at] irishmemoryorchestra.com

We are looking to fill this position within one month, as such it is recommended to apply ASAP. There is no deadline for applications, the role will be filled when we find the right cellist.

N.B. This is not a full-time job, as such it is best suited to people living within the Island of Ireland who are available for occasional freelance work. We are open to applications from cellists living in the UK and Mainland Europe who are able to get to Ireland with low travel costs.
