With its 40-week programme and over 80 orchestral and chamber performances each year, Southbank Sinfonia is one of Britain’s busiest chamber orchestras. In order to achieve ambitious artistic plans each year, all activities require an excellent level of foresight, care and skill in planning and delivery. While the team collectively shares responsibility for ensuring everything runs effectively, the Orchestra Assistant & Music Librarian makes a vital contribution towards running all activities at the highest possible standard.

The Orchestra Assistant & Music Librarian has a range of responsibilities, making this the ideal role for someone looking to further their experience in classical music administration. They provide full support to the Orchestra Manager, sometimes deputising as required, working together to ensure the smooth-running of all activities. They also manage Southbank Sinfonia’s in-house Music Library, acquiring all chamber and orchestral music required, and play a central part in the co-ordination of auditions and interviews for each year’s new orchestra.

Position at the very centre of our thriving organisation, this full-time position gives you the opportunity to play a valued part in many exciting and distinctive projects, including our residency at the Anghiari Festival in Italy this summer. The successful candidate will get to work closely with the orchestra which is full of great personalities and the hardworking, friendly management team. You will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and take pride in helping outstanding young professionals to fulfil their potential each year.
