Orchestra Librarian

The Philharmonia is looking to appoint an experienced Orchestra Librarian to join its busy Concerts team. You will be responsible for all aspects of the Orchestra’s in-house music library and will lead on the hiring of music from publishers where required. You will ensure that parts and orchestrations are correct and present at each performance. As a key member of the Philharmonia’s Concerts team, you will line-manage the Assistant Orchestra Librarian and Auditions’ Administrator and report to the Director of Concerts & Projects.

The Librarian is a member of both the Orchestra’s Concerts Department and Out of Office Team, and works closely with the Orchestra Personnel Manager, Assistant Orchestra Personnel Manager and Stage/Transport Managers.

Working hours are dictated by the Orchestra’s performance schedule, and include evening and weekend work, as well as additional hours in the library, as required.

The Orchestra Librarian is responsible for the provision of sheet music and scores for all rehearsals, concerts, recording sessions, and other activities carried out by the Orchestra.
