There is a rare opportunity to lead the bassoon section in of one of the UK's longest-running orchestras. We rehearse every term-time Tuesday evening at Christ Church, Bayston Hill under the baton of our esteemed Music Director, John Moore. The rep is intensive and challenging.
If you have the experience and ability to become a section leader in the SSO, we would love to hear from you.
Members of the orchestra are expected to attend all rehearsals, or arrange their own deps. We usually perform three concerts a year, plus an outdoor charity concert in mid-July. All concerts are on Wednesday evenings. The date of our summer concert is Wednesday, June 26th 2025.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in an audition process before being appointed for a trial period of one full season.
