Glyndebourne is expanding its talent development scheme for orchestral instrumentalists, thanks to new funding from Jerwood Foundation.
The newly renamed Jerwood Pit Perfect scheme celebrates its sixth anniversary in 2023 and offers recent graduates the opportunity to join The Glyndebourne Sinfonia (formerly the Glyndebourne Tour Orchestra) during Glyndebourne’s autumn season. The purpose of the scheme is to provide young instrumentalists with real-world work experience over a concentrated period.
The chosen players participate on an equal footing with established members of the orchestra and are paid for their participation. Places are offered to selected instrumentalists each year, depending on repertoire and vacancies. This year, the opportunities are as follows: 1st and 2nd Violin, Cello and Double Bass.
Participants will take part in all rehearsals and performances during Glyndebourne’s autumn season, as well as being mentored by an existing member of the orchestra. They will receive further professional development opportunities including one-to-one instrumental lessons and seminars on life in the music profession.
