Sheffield Chamber Players is dedicated to bringing great works of chamber music into the intimate spaces they were written for, such as private homes. Paired with the educational and entertaining pre-concert talks, as well as casual conversations with artists afterwards, Sheffield Chamber Players' innovative and dedicated approach to home concerts breaks down barriers between audience and performers and appeals equally strong to public with little-to-none concert-going experience, as well as to connoisseurs.  Currently at the end of our 5th season, the group has seen a tremendous rate of growth, and with over 30 performances per season we are looking to find the right person to help us with administrative and organizational workload associated with running the group.

 

We are looking for a qualified professional with experience in administration, preferably in arts, to help us with a variety of administrative tasks. Music education as well as a BMA are a big plus since we anticipate a strong potential for growth for this position.
