As Principal Second Violin, you’ll be a key player in helping to lead the Violin section, working to keep musicians united and collaborating well together, whether they are regular members or extras. Throughout the course of the year, you’ll be offered a wide variety of work, ranging from larger symphony projects at the country’s leading concert halls, choral recording sessions in cathedrals across the UK, as well as educational projects and community events across south London.

Audio recordings should be submitted via a downloadable link, (using a service such as WeTransfer or Dropbox), which you’ll need to include in the application form.
