RSNO invites applications for three-year Assistant Conductorship post
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) today begins its search for a new Assistant Conductor by inviting potential candidates from across the globe to apply for the three-year post.
The Assistant Conductor role provides extensive conducting opportunities with one of the UK’s leading symphony orchestras, within the framework of a supportive mentoring environment. In addition to concert and rehearsal opportunities, the post holder will benefit from ongoing professional evaluation and counsel from RSNO Music Director Stéphane Denève, guest conductors and player-mentors in the Orchestra, as well as being able to develop the multi-faceted leadership and communication skills required of modern conductors. The Assistant Conductor will conduct a variety of RSNO concerts, including serving as primary conductor for all educational and children’s programming. He or she will also be an active participant in engaging audiences, communities, and musicians in training throughout Scotland
30 year old Austrian David Danzmayr was the first RSNO Assistant Conductor, holding the post from 2007-2010. He took up the post in October 2007 and, during his three years with the Orchestra, has benefited from leading Scotland’s national orchestra in performances around the country, ranging from concerts for pre-school children to full Season performances in all the country’s major venues.
Current RSNO Assistant Conductor David Danzmayr:
"My three years with the RSNO have been an exhilarating experience, a great learning opportunity and a very rewarding musical journey. Working for this organisation is very much being a part of the great RSNO family and the feeling of coherence and collegiality is apparent in every department. Together with the unique possibility to have orchestra players as mentors who really take their time and patience to help me achieve my greater goals, this is most certainly one of the best early positions a young conductor can have in Europe."
RSNO Chief Executive Simon Woods:
“Professional opportunities for talented emerging conductors are few and far between, and rarely provide the forum for ongoing learning. The RSNO’s Assistant Conductor position has already been proven to offer valuable experience and we are proud to be able to provide that necessary experience of working with a top-level professional orchestra.”
Auditions by invitation will be held in Glasgow on 7 May 2010. Highly qualified applicants are asked to send a covering letter, curriculum vitae, repertoire list, video work sample and full contact information for three professional references by Tuesday 30 March 2010 to: Assistant Conductor Search, The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, 73 Claremont Street, Glasgow, G3 7JB. The RSNO regrets that it cannot return promotional materials and that no application without a video sample will be considered.
