PRINCIPAL 2ND VIOLIN CHAIR
Orchestra Kingston is a 40 (+) member community orchestra located in Kingston, Ontario, approaching our 10th season of serving our community with 4 (or more) concerts per season. We are a Not-For-Profit registered Charity under the direction of a Board of Directors and employ a professional Music Director and several Principal chairs. We are currently searching to fill the Principal 2nd Violin position for the 2017/2018 season.
The candidate for this position will have achieved mastery in their field as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral performer. The individual possesses interpretive skills and instincts developed through performance experience, inquisitiveness about what composers intended in their music, and a fundamental ability to relate that intent to musicians and audiences.
The candidate we hope to find will be a confident leader and mentor, willing to commit to weekly rehearsals, occasional dress rehearsals and will participate in 4 (or more) concerts each season.
Responsibilities include reviewing all music repertoire to be performed by the second violin section and provide bowings and general instructions to the section members.
Remuneration is $2000 for the 2017/2018 season (based on approximately 40 services).
Applications are invited; please send resumes to Orchestra Kingston General Manager, PO Box 382, Kingston ON K7L 4W2 or email: manager@orchestrakingston.ca
