Last-minute appeal: ‘We need concertmaster, solo cello, first trombone…’
mainBoian Videnoff has issued an SOS on behalf of the Mannheim Philharmonic.
Dear Friends our season is about to start and we’re looking for a new concert master, solo cello, first trombone, tutti violins and violas. If you’re interested please apply or tell your friends.
Die neue Saison beginnt und in Kürze stehen Probespiele an: Konzertmeister, Violine, Viola, Solocello, Kontrabass, Soloposaune und Schlagzeuger.
That’s leaving it a bit late….
Apply here.
This aren’t paid positions, are they? Seems like a kind of training orchestra to me.
This is a student orchestra. I can think of 11 fulltime professional orchestras in Mannheim or within an hour – though I might have their exact names incorrect (and I don’t feel like looking them up):
The National Theater of Mannheim (a full time opera house)
The Frankfurt Radio Orchestra
The Frankfurt Opera
The Stuttgart Radio Orchestra
The Stuttgart Opera
The Stuttgart Philharmonic
The Staatstheater in Kaiserslautern
The Staatstheater in Karlsruhe
The Stadttheater in Heidelberg
The Saarbrucken Radio Orchestra
The Ludwigsburg Philharmonic
There are probably others – and all within about an hour.
