Double Bass

We are looking to attract experienced Double Bass players to join our 70+ strong orchestra.

We are part way through our exciting 2023/24 season and have special plans ahead for 2025 with our 80th Anniversary.

Based in the cultural heart of the City of Sheffield at the beautiful Victoria Hall, the SPO draws on players of all backgrounds from across Yorkshire & the Humber, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire.  The Orchestra has a sensible schedule and gives no fewer than five concerts a year at venues across Sheffield and beyond.  Over the years the SPO has performed in many notable venues, such as: Sheffield City Hall, Buxton Pavilion Gardens and Birmingham Symphony Hall, where they recorded a live CD with revered acoustic and electric guitarist, Gordon Giltrap MBE.  The Orchestra has also performed at music festivals on the islands of Crete, Malta and Sardinia.

If you are grade 6+ (or equivalent), 16+ years and are interested in joining Sheffield Philharmonic then we would love to hear from you!
