    Description

    The London Euphonia Orchestra, a registered charity, is seeking a hands-on and dynamic individual to serve as Chair of the organisation. This pivotal role is integral to championing the orchestra and helping guide its evolution into the next phase of development. We are looking for someone who shares our passion for classical music, will embrace LEO's values, and will dedicate themselves to realising our vision.

    The role of Chair of the London Euphonia Orchestra presents valuable opportunities: gaining experience in strategic management and leadership; networking with international musicians and stakeholders across diverse fields; shaping the amateur orchestra sector at a pivotal time; and demonstrating dedication to the arts and charity sector.

    About the London Euphonia Orchestra

    Founded in 2012 and based in the City of London, the London Euphonia Orchestra strives to promote the education and appreciation of classical music by providing a platform for members to perform live orchestral concerts to the community. We are a full-sized symphonic orchestra that includes high-level amateur musicians and a number of professional musicians in the early stages of their careers.

    The London Euphonia Orchestra performs three concerts annually and also hosts workshops throughout the year. We offer development opportunities for emerging professional musicians to lead orchestra sections and share professional expertise.

    LEO works with educational projects within local communities and established charities on fundraising campaigns. We regularly partner with international and emerging soloists and have collaborated with composers to premiere new works.

    Looking ahead, we're excited about the prospects for amateur orchestral music-making in London. While we take pride in what we've achieved so far, we're motivated to explore new avenues for growth and impact.
