National Symphony Orchestra Choirs Assistant

The NCH is seeking suitable applicants for the role of NSO Choirs Assistant. The NSO Choirs Assistant will support all aspects of choral operational activity, acting as assistant to the NSO Choral Manager in all aspects of administration of the NCH/NSO Choirs.

Following the transfer from RTÉ in January 2022, the National Concert Hall’s NSO family of choirs is made up of the National Symphony Chorus (150+ adult singers), alongside the Cór Linn youth choir (50+ singers, aged 14-18), the Cór na nÓg children’s choir (60+ singers, aged 9-13) and the Cór na nÓg Training Choir (20+ singers, aged 9-12).

The National Symphony Chorus prepares, performs and broadcasts at least six large-scale orchestral choral works each concert season (late August to end of May). These are delivered in collaboration with the National Symphony Orchestra, and internationally acclaimed conductors and soloists, with occasional recordings and stand-alone concerts. The Chorus has been established as Ireland’s leading symphonic choral ensemble with a highly impressive repertoire well in excess of a hundred pieces.

Cór na nÓg prepare eight to ten performances per choral season (late August to May) and Cór Linn, recent winners of the Derry International Choirs Festival Youth Choir competition, have approximately six to eight performances per season.
