Aalborg Symphony Orchestra – Tutti 1st Violin

Join Our Orchestra

Aalborg Symphony Orchestra is a dynamic regional orchestra based in Musikkens Hus – one of the most striking concert halls in the Nordic countries, known for its world-class acoustics and architecture. We have high artistic ambitions and a strong international outlook. We are now looking for new colleagues – could that be you?

The orchestra’s home base is in Aalborg, the capital of North Jutland, beautifully located by the Limfjord. The city combines the cultural and musical life of a major urban center with accessibility and a close-knit community. Surrounded by sea, fjords, and open landscapes, North Jutland offers exceptional nature and a high quality of life – with space for both tranquillity and activity.

With us, you don’t just get an exciting workplace – you become part of a community in inspiring surroundings.

About the Orchestra

Aalborg Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1943 and today consists of 65 full-time musicians.

At the heart of our work are the Thursday symphonic concerts, featuring both Danish and international soloists and conductors. In addition, we perform opera and ballet productions with The Royal Danish Theatre and Danish National Opera, film concerts, and cross-genre projects with artists from other fields. Our strong children and youth program also helps bring music to audiences of all ages throughout North Jutland.

With world-class acoustics and the unique setting of Musikkens Hus, we provide a platform for artistic expression. We collaborate with leading soloists, conductors, and cultural institutions nationally and internationally to ensure concerts of the highest quality. At the same time, we are actively working to increase our visibility and expand our network, so the orchestra remains a key player in both Danish and international music life. A central focus in our orchestra is to create a workplace where well-being and artistic ambition go hand in hand.

Since 2023, the American conductor Joshua Weilerstein has served as Chief Conductor, while Michael Schønwandt is our Conductor Emeritus.
