Tutti 1st violin (75%)

The position
As a tutti player in the 1st violin section, you are one of the diligent musicians, making a contribution to the rich, clear orchestral sonority. A new programme is prepared and performed each week. Your place within the section will change for each programme. You will also be adaptable for educational and social activities and stage performances in smaller settings.
Requirements for the position
It goes without saying that you will be a distinguished violinist. We consider it essential that each of our players is an ambassador for our orchestra, and that they collaborate in educational activities and ensemble productions in addition to our fully staged performances. You must be a positive team player who can strike the right balance between individuality and sectional playing.
