Programme Manager, National

Music in the Round £24,480 FTE per annum (14,688 pro rata 0.6 FTE) Closing date 05 July 2022
Music in the Round was established in Sheffield in 1984 by Peter Cropper and the renowned Lindsay String Quartet, who pioneered the idea of music performed and listened to ‘in-the-round’. We are now the leading national promoter of chamber music, presenting hundreds of events in partnership with venues across the country to thousands of people of all ages, particularly in areas where there is little provision of professional live classical music, including Doncaster, Barnsley, Portsmouth and Barking & Dagenham. A highlight is our annual nine-day Sheffield Chamber Music Festival in the Crucible Theatre each May, as well as activity across the city in unusual venues. We are also known for our extensive Learning & Participation programme, which reaches around 10,000 children and young people each year.

Music in the Round is seeking a Programme Manager, National, who is passionate about what we do, and will join us at an exciting time as we focus on fully integrating all our strands of activity with venues around the country. We are looking to appoint someone who can develop excellent relationships with a wide range of venues, organisations, supporters and musicians. Intrinsic to the role will be getting to know, understanding the perspective of and liaising collaboratively with each of our current partner venues around the country, working with the Head of Programmes to nurture each of these partnerships through presenting inspiring concerts and Learning & Participation activity within their local communities. This position is also key to developing new relationships with concert venues, both those keen to expand their live chamber music programming through presenting concerts, and organisations looking to deepen and embed music-making in their local area.

We are looking for someone who is motivated, passionate and knowledgeable about music, with a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our work, and a desire and ability to work collaboratively with a range of people and partners.
