The Copenhagen’s Student Orchestra “SymfUni” is seeking a new conductor for Spring 2026 

Who are we? 
The Copenhagen’s Student Orchestra SymfUni consists of around 60 students representing all universities in the Copenhagen area, a large group of exchange and other international students. 

The orchestra generally performs two concerts per semester with a broad repertoire of classical music. More information about our past concerts and tours can be found at www.symfuni.dk/koncerter. 

An important part of SymfUni’s work is internationalization. The orchestra usually undertakes annual collaboration projects and concert tours abroad. The orchestra also works actively to attract foreign university orchestras to Denmark and assists them with concert tours in the country when needed—for example, the University of Bonn Orchestra in September 2025. 

Who are we looking for? 
We are looking for a conductor who can serve as artistic leader, who can challenge, inspire, and develop our ensemble, recognizing that its members are young, dedicated amateurs who love making music together. The conductor should be able to move the orchestra forward while taking into account its diverse composition and the fact that the orchestra is both a musical and social gathering place. 

The conductor will work closely and constructively with the active board regarding the practical framework for the orchestra’s activities. 

Practical details 
Symfuni rehearses every Wednesday from 19:00–21:30, in two seasons: February to May, and September to December. Rehearsals are mostly conducted in English, given the relatively large number of international students. Each semester usually concludes with two concerts, typically at the end of May and the end of November. In addition, we normally hold two rehearsal weekends per semester. 

About the position 

The position begins on the first Wednesday in February 2026. The position is offered for the Spring 2026 project with the possibility of recurrent projects every year. 

Compensation follows standard evening school rates through Frederiksberg Music School. 

Interested? 
Are you our new conductor? Please send your application and CV to symfuni@gmail.com as soon as possible, and no later than Sunday, 12th October, 2025. Auditions and interviews will be held on Sunday, 26th October 2025.
