About Springhead Constellation

Springhead Constellation is a UK based not-for-profit cultural organisation that connects music, art, and ideas in transformative ways. With The Constellation Choir & Orchestra (CCO) as our flagship ensemble under the artistic direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, we celebrate the profound links between performance, history, philosophy, science, and nature.

Based in Springhead, Dorset, we combine intimate gatherings with international projects, creating a dynamic platform for innovation, creativity and reflection.

The Role : Tour & Projects Manager

Springhead Constellation and the Constellation Choir & Orchestra are seeking a highly experienced Tour & Projects Manager to help support an increasingly active international touring and project schedule from Summer 2026 onwards.

The role combines remote planning work with periods of travel, rehearsals and meetings in London and internationally as required. The role encompasses a broad range of responsibilities, including coordinating travel, accommodation and concert logistics in close collaboration with the Stage Manager and wider management team. We are looking for someone highly organised, confident in managing orchestra and choral tours and comfortable in working within a small collaborative team environment.

The role arises initially in the context of maternity cover within the organisation, though as Springhead Constellation continues to grow, we anticipate that there may well be longer-term possibilities for the right person in one form or another.

We are therefore very open to hearing from a variety of experienced candidates with different backgrounds and availabilities.

The role would ideally begin during July / August 2026.
