Britten Sinfonia is looking for an ambitious and creative producer to support the delivery of larger-scale projects, with a particular emphasis on projects working with children and young people and early-career artists across the East of England.
Our acclaimed Learning & Participation programme aims to activate the creative potential of communities across the East of England – through performances and participatory music-making of the highest quality.
You will be joining the team at an important time for the organisation as we sustain the delivery of our current output, as well as exploring new opportunities with deeper levels of engagement and interconnectivity between our four key strands: Community; Health & Wellbeing; Schools, Children and Young People; and Artist Development.
This role requires the successful candidate to complete a Disclosure and Barring Check, the receipt of satisfactory references and be eligible to work in the UK.
Volunteer stewards
We are looking for volunteer stewards to support us at our events in Cambridge, on an event-by-event basis. Stewards would support the Britten Sinfonia box office team by welcoming audience members at the door, directing them to their seats, and assisting in selling books and CDs. Stewards also join safety briefings and, in the unlikely event of an emergency (such as a fire), would help evacuate the audience.
This role is in a volunteer capacity, but stewards are welcome to sit in and watch concerts that they are assisting with. In addition for each concert at which you volunteer, we will offer you two free tickets to a concert in Cambridge or Saffron Walden where you will not be expected to steward.
Upcoming concerts needing stewards:
Tim Garland's Lighthouse Trio and Britten Sinfonia | 20 November 7pm, West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge. See event details here.
The Robot and The Bluebird (schools’ concerts) | Monday 25 November 10:30am & 13:30pm, West Road Concert Hall.
Please email support@brittensinfonia.com if you would like to be added to our list of stewards.
