Glasgow, United Kingdom BBC Full time

Job Introduction
We have an exciting opportunity for a sub principal viola player to join the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is renowned as one of the UK’s most brilliant and versatile orchestras. Formed in 1935 and based at Glasgow’s City Halls since 2006, the Orchestra has a rich history of performing, broadcasting, recording and touring in Scotland, the UK and overseas.

Thomas Dausgaard has been Chief Conductor since 2016 and established a Composer Roots series, which places classical works in context through collaborations with folk musicians, students and choirs, and a Scottish Inspirations series of BBC commissions from leading contemporary composers. The Orchestra undertakes an ambitious programme of touring - most recently to Japan and Austria in 2019 - and recording, with a planned complete set of Bartók’s orchestral works underway with Thomas Dausgaard.

During the global pandemic, the BBC SSO broadcast and streamed live and recorded concerts from City Halls with guest artists including Steven Isserlis, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Imogen Cooper, Steven Osborne and Sir Mark Elder; staged an online version of Tectonics, its festival of new and experimental music; and created Tunes for Tots, an online series for young children, with its Associate Artist Lucy Drever.

It has long championed new music and has established strong links with local communities through its learning and outreach programmes. It is a partner in Big Noise, Scotland’s project for social change through music; it plays a major role in the BBC’s Ten Pieces initiative; and it maintains a close association with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, working across a variety of disciplines with conductors, composers, soloists and orchestral players.

It is a recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society Award and of four Gramophone awards, and maintains a busy schedule of broadcasts for BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC television and online
