HISTORY

October 2000 musicalchairs is launched. Classical music jobs are listed according to instrument, and available 24/365. Musicians no longer have to seek out various periodicals, wading through pages of adverts.  And managers can publish and amend advert details at any time, without worrying about deadlines or irreversible typos!  Our key market – the best young musicians leaving Conservatoires and seeking employment – are fully conversant with the Internet, and already expect it to offer this information. The site takes off immediately and word spreads like wildfire among musicians. Its success brings rapid enquiries from orchestra managers worldwide

2001 musicalchairs introduces singing jobs and administration posts

2002 musicalchairs launches a separate section for US, Canadian and Latin American orchestras

2003 Managers are given special site access, with a personal page to view and adjust their listings 

2004 A survey by one British orchestra finds that over 75% of applicants for a Violin job applied via musicalchairs and only 12% via the Saturday Telegraph
