We are seeking a new Conductor to succeed Stefan Hofkes who is moving to Spain. The conductor's main duties are to
1) Conduct the Bristol Concert Orchestra (BCO) at rehearsals and performances.
2) Assume full responsibility for the musical direction of the orchestra's performances.
3) Work with the Leader and Section Leaders at full and sectional rehearsals on musical and technical aspects of orchestral playing.
4) Advise and work with the BCO Committee on choice of repertoire, soloists and the technical and artistic development of the orchestra.

Rehearsals are at Ashton Park School, Bristol on Monday evenings in school term, with an additional Friday evening just before each concert. Concerts are at weekends, mostly in St Georges Bristol.
