Principal Cello (50%)

The Chamber Orchestra of Europe (COE) is currently inviting applications for the position of Principal Cello (50%).
The COE works for roughly 90–110 days per annum divided into approximately 10–12 projects spread throughout the year. The COE has two Principal Cellists who are expected to share the workload equally, i.e. approximately 50 days each per year. Every member of the orchestra is paid at the same daily rate. There are occasional additional fees for chamber music and solo work as applicable. Members are contracted per project on a self-employed basis and are responsible for their own Personal Tax and Social Security in their country of residence, Pension plans, Health and Instrument Insurance etc. The successful applicant will be resident in Europe and will have the necessary paperwork in order to work and travel freely within the European Union, including the ability to provide valid A1 forms when requested.
Candidates may apply by emailing a CV and recording or weblink to the COE’s Personnel and Planning Manager Camilla Follett at camilla@coeurope.org. Please send us a recording of any ‘Classical’ solo repertoire (not chamber music), preferably by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert. Please do not send a recording of music from the ‘Romantic’ period or of any contemporary composer. The recording does not need to be made on professional equipment. Please also inform us of your nationality and country of residence.
