Tutti 1st violin - Residentie Orkest The Hague

As a tutti player in the 1st violin section, you are one of the diligent musicians, making a contribution to the rich, clear orchestral sonority. A new programme is prepared and performed each week. Your place within the section will change for each programme. You will also be adaptable for educational and participation and outreach activities and stage performances in smaller settings.

It goes without saying that you will be a distinguished violinist. We consider it essential that each of our players is an ambassador for our orchestra, and that they collaborate in educational activities and ensemble productions in addition to our orchestral performances. You must be a positive team player who can strike the right balance between individuality and sectional playing.

Please submit your application no later than 26 September 2022, using a fully completed application form, for which you can find the template on our website at www.residentieorkest.nl/vacatures

Auditions for this position will be held on Thursday 3 November (preliminary and first rounds) and on Friday morning 4 November (final round) 2022.
