PRINCIPAL HORN guestplayers, autumn 2024


ABOUT THE POSITION
The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra is searching for a Principal Horn and are inviting highly qualified candidates to express their interest.

PROCESS
We would like to invite qualified candidates to express their interest by sending this application. This vacancy does not yet have a specified audition date or a set application deadline as we will review applications on an ongoing basis. However, the HPO will decide autumn season 2024 Principal Horn recruitments based on applications sent before May 15 2024. We kindly ask candidates to provide, in addition to their resumé, recent video material they feel are representative of them as artists. The repertoire is free but the duration of the video is limited to 5 minutes.

REVIEWING
We are tentatively planning an audition in the spring 2025. However, our goal in this process is to get to know our candidates well, preferably by guest appearing in the orchestra, before deciding who to invite to audition. Our jury will review every application individually. Whether individual merits will suffice for an invitation can therefore not be evaluated before an actual application is made.

AN APPLICATION MAY RESULT IN
• Invitation to guest in HPO as Pricipal Horn during autumn 2024
• Request for more material
• An invitation to preaudition
