Junior Fellow in French Horn

The RNCM School of Wind, Brass and Percussion is looking to recruit a Junior Fellow in French Horn for the Academic Year 2025/2026.

This position will allow the successful candidate the opportunity to gain experience within the RNCM’s diverse range of Orchestras and Ensembles, whilst allowing space to develop professional connections externally. Our Orchestral Junior Fellowships are salaried positions and in return you will be scheduled for up to 400 hours of ensemble or school-based activity.

RNCM students perform in the broadest range of ensembles, exploring music from all corners of the repertoire and plenty of brand new works too. You could find yourself performing in Opera, Symphony Orchestra, Brand New Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Repertoire Orchestras or internal workshop activity. Every project is exciting and unique. We invite world-class conductors and directors as well as regularly embedding professional players within ensembles. You’ll build working relationships with all of these people during your time as a Junior Fellow.

You might be asked to play in weekly classes for RNCM conducting students or be invited to support your school by playing in school-based activities such as workshops or repertoire ensembles. You may also be expected to play in School of Chamber Music activity, potential recruitment activities and administrative duties, at the discretion of the Head of School.

You will lead by example, demonstrating to our existing students the professional etiquette required of a performer. You will have a solid base of orchestral experience from your own conservatoire or university training, and you will know the expectation to arrive to rehearsals in good time and fully prepared. Mentor support will be provided by relevant key staff.
