Who we are
The London Sinfonietta is one of the world’s leading contemporary music ensembles. We produce world-class new music projects & performances that engage with today’s society, involving and inspiring the lives of individuals, audiences, communities and artists. Our ethos is to experiment constantly with the art form, collaborating with young people, communities and the public to produce music projects often involving film, theatre, dance and art.
The role
London
Sinfonietta is at the forefront of contemporary arts in the UK and
Internationally. We produce world-class new music projects & performances
that engage with today’s society, involving and inspiring the lives of
individuals, audiences, communities and artists.
The London
Sinfonietta Council/Board of Trustees ensures that the activities of the
charitable company (Sinfonietta Productions Ltd) meet public benefit
requirements. It currently includes 12 members.
We are
seeking up to three new Council Members/Trustees who will help us support the
operational delivery and strategic direction of the charity’s activities and
add to the diversity and effectiveness of our decision-making.
We are very
keen to hear from those with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and
skillsets and we encourage applications from those beyond the music or creative
arts sectors.
The areas in
which we particularly seek support for the next phase of London Sinfonietta’s
ambitions are:
- Fundraising, commercial income generation, and growing and diversifying
our income base
- Audience development and marketing, including data-driven insight
- Qualified financial, risk and audit expertise, preferably with charity
governance experience
No previous
board experience is necessary, and although these positions are unpaid, the
role will provide post-holders with opportunities to grow and develop their own
leadership and career aspirations and enhancing confidence as a board and
committee member.
