Orchestras

The Corp has posted vacancies for three tutti violins in the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

The workplace is listed as the recently-sold Maida Vale Studios, but ‘the Orchestra is looking forward to moving to a new purpose built studio facility at the site of the former Olympic Park in East London within the next few years.’

Applicants will have to produce evidence of their right to work in the UK.

What is a bit odd is that musicians are required to register via a commercial website called musicalchairs in order to start the application process. This website appears to have a monopoly on BBC musician jobs. That relationship is not transparent. Questions need to be asked.

UPDATE: Musicalchairs responds to just criticism
