The horn section currently comprises two principals, one 3rd horn and one 2nd / 4th horn. In addition, we are now looking for another 2nd / 4th horn. In addition to playing symphonic repertoire in the orchestra, you will also be available for (educational and social) activities and staged performances in smaller ensembles.

It goes without saying that you stand out as a horn player, being able to adapt to the playing style and timbre of the group. We consider it essential that each of our players is an ambassador for our orchestra. You must be a positive team player who can strike the right balance between individuality and sectional playing.

Please submit your application no later than 14 April 2025, using a fully completed application form, for which you can find the template on our website at www.residentieorkest.nl (werken bij)
