Music in the Round 24,150 Closing date 11 August 2025
Music in the Round is the leading national producer of chamber music, with a year-round programme of hundreds of events for people of all ages. For over 40 years we have been bringing people and music closer together through our friendly and informative style of ‘in the round’ performances. We present concerts and the Sheffield Chamber Music Festival each year at our home venue, the Crucible Playhouse, as well as activity across the city and in partnership with venues around the country.
Our resident group, Ensemble 360, comprises 11 of the finest chamber musicians in the country, and is at the heart of our activity. Alongside them we present world-class guest musicians, such as Stephen Hough, Elaine Mitchener, Steven Isserlis, Jasdeep Singh Degun, Evelyn Glennie and our singer-in-residence Roderick Williams, as well as free or low-cost participatory events led by high-quality workshop leaders and educators. Each year we reach around 25,000 people, from Goole to Portsmouth via Barnsley and Milton Keynes. We are also known for our extensive Learning & Participation (L&P) programme, which reaches around 10,000 children and young people each year.
Role Description
This is a full-time position located in Sheffield. We are looking for someone who is passionate about what we do and can develop excellent relationships with a wide range of supporters, staff and organisations.

It involves a range of activity, from submitting applications to trusts and foundations and identifying new funding opportunities, to digital and social media marketing, some print production and data collating, as we aim for our activity to be accessible to more people in more places.
We would like to work with someone who is motivated, passionate and has some knowledge of music, with a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our activity, and an ability to work collaboratively with a range of people and partners. We are looking for someone who can build on the warmth many people have towards Music in the Round as we plan our future activity on- and -off-stage and prepare to move into Harmony Works, the new home of music education in the heart of Sheffield.
