Co-principal cello - Norwegian Radio Orchestra
Oslo, Norway
Co-Principal cello, permanent position (100%)
The Norwegian Radio Orchestra seeks a new co-principal cellist.
We are proud of our versatility: Our core repertoire is the classical symphonic repertoire. However our repertoire also spans music from many different genres, and we are committed to high standards in all of our projects. The size of our orchestra reflects our chamber music approach to the orchestral repertoire. We want every musician to feel that they can take initiative to and contribute actively to the musical result.
The co-principal cellist is expected to lead the section approximately 30% of the time during each season. This will be agreed upon within the section. Our goal is to maintain an exemplary level of playing in both the principal and co-principal positions whilst simultaneously assuring the orchestra’s need for flexibility.
