Emerging Musicians Fellowship 2026-27 (Bassoon)

Applications for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Emerging Musicians Fellowship are now open and will close at 12pm on Thursday 27 November 2025. The Emerging Musicians Fellowship is a development opportunity for emerging orchestral musicians, offering a paid immersive experience with a fee of £2,500.

In the 2026-27 season, four Fellowship Musicians will be welcomed to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, undertaking five patches of inductions, rehearsals, performances, training (musical and non-musical) and education work, during five weeks spread over the period September 2026 – July 2027. Fellowship Musicians will rehearse and perform alongside Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra musicians as part of the orchestral schedule for three intensive weeks.

The Fellowship will culminate in a final wrap week including an exit audition (to join our regular extras list, or for ongoing development), a more intimate chamber performance alongside other Fellowship Musicians, and events to welcome the next cohort of Fellowship Musicians.
