Promotions Intern, Schott London

Schott Music is a global company which, alongside its core music publishing functions, includes a CD label, a book and magazine department, its own printers, and a large distribution operation for both the hire and sale of sheet music. Its head office is located in Mainz, Germany with further principal offices in London, New York and Tokyo, and additional offices in Prague, Madrid, Paris, Toronto and Berlin.

This internship is in the London office’s Contemporary Music department, responsible for promoting the composers and works in the Schott catalogue. The focus of our work revolves around live performance and we work very closely with performers (orchestras, conductors, soloists, etc.) and concert promoters to get our music heard on the concert platform. We also work closely with agents, choreographers, radio broadcasters, record labels, and press to raise awareness of our composers.

Interns have the chance to develop a wide range of skills and gain an understanding of music publishing through daily support of the department’s three members as well as individual projects.

The successful candidate will be a self-motivated and highly organised individual with an interest in contemporary classical music and strong written English. The ability to speak German is advantageous but not essential.
