Musical Director / Conductor

Aberdeenshire Saxophone Orchestra

We have a vacancy for an inspirational Musical Director from early 2026. Closing date 17th October 2025

Applications are invited from anyone willing to travel to Aberdeen/Inverurie for our ‘all day’ rehearsals which are held on one Sunday per month

Aberdeenshire Saxophone Orchestra (SCIO) is an amateur orchestra (registered charity number SC049599), based in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire where we rehearse  once a month throughout the year.

We attract players from Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen city, and more widely from the surrounding shires. Our players range in skill level from grade 3 through university music students to professional players and tutors. Several of our junior members have progressed on to conservatoires and university music courses. Membership of the orchestra is circa 35 players and growing.

The orchestra, founded in 2019, performs 2-3 concerts a year, together with a few smaller events, in various locations in Aberdeenshire. Our repertoire is as inclusive as we can make it across many genres and historical periods including newly commissioned works. We were shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society Inspiration award in 2021.

The Musical Director will be responsible for the programming, preparation and performance of the orchestra’s concerts in conjunction with the orchestra’s committee (the Board).  They will support the musical development of members by creating a safe and enjoyable space for members to develop their skills. They will also be expected to adapt orchestral, wind band and other scores to suit a saxophone-only orchestra and be able to create simpler parts for less experienced players.

It is expected that applicants will be saxophone players with experience in conducting and working with amateur musicians, although experienced wind players and conductors will also be considered
 

The Coventry City of Culture Orchestra is looking for a new conductor.

Having lost our musical director, Sebastian Farrall, very suddenly in a tragic cycling accident, we are determined to carry on making music in his honour and memory. He has left us with a legacy of community music making which is inclusive, joyful and of a high standard and we would love to keep this alive under the guidance of a new conductor.
