We are looking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic musician of the highest international calibre to the position of Section Leader Cello. As one of six string Section Leader positions in the orchestra, the Section Leader Cello is one of the key roles in Royal Northern Sinfonia.
The successful candidate will be able to form a cohesive team with string colleagues in orchestral programmes across repertoire ranging from the Baroque period to the music of today, while also displaying soloistic virtuosity and charisma in orchestral solos and solo concertos. They will be a keen chamber music player and excited about the prospect of performing in many different formations under the banner of Royal Northern Sinfonia, taking the lead where necessary.
They will be determined to play their part in audience development, brimming with project ideas, and be a passionate communicator about classical music to different audiences in different settings. They will be as comfortable and at home in learning and participation environments as they are on the concert stage, and value both equally. They will want to play a full part in orchestral and musical life in Tyneside and see themselves as advocates for the orchestra and The Glasshouse.
