Scotland’s national orchestra is inviting applicants for the position of RSNO Assistant Conductor, commencing in the autumn of 2016. Successful candidates will be invited to the RSNO Centre in May for audition with full orchestra, where applicants will be invited to conduct a mixture of repertoire. Following the audition three candidates will be invited to the final round of interviews, from which the new RSNO Assistant Conductor will be selected.
Applicants are invited to send a covering letter, CV, repertoire list, video work sample and full contact information for three professional references by email only to amy.glover@rsno.org.uk. Deadline for applications is Monday 8 February 2016.
Not sure when the RSNO started having Assistant Conductors, but its Glasgow based colleague the BBC Scottish Symphony has a stellar list of assistant alumni – the knights Simon Rattle, Alexander Gibson, Andrew Davis and Colin Davis amongst others.
