The London Sinfonietta is looking to recruit three Principal player positions: Trumpet, Violin II and Piano.

We are looking for players with a core virtuosity and orchestral musicianship who excel in the diverse fields of contemporary classical music and who have a willingness and talent for undertaking extended and experimental techniques and a curiosity to explore the aesthetics surrounding contemporary composition. Each member of the ensemble is asked to perform in a wide range of settings including full orchestra, small conducted ensemble, un-conducted chamber group and solo works.

At this time, we actively encourage people from diverse backgrounds to join our organisation and we encourage applications from people that are currently underrepresented in the orchestral sector.
