‘I thought it was a fantastic few days and I learnt so much…I would recommend it to anyone!’

16-year-old participant in Takeover 2014

The RSNO Takeover is a two-day intensive work experience, open to 16 to 18 year olds interested in a career in the arts or creative industries, regardless of whether you play a musical instrument or not.

We’ll select 50 young people to work in various departments of the Orchestra to produce a public concert at the end of the two-day event. Opportunities will exist in arts marketing, press and PR, development (fundraising), learning and engagement, conducting and performing as a musician.

There are still a few places remaining for 2015.

For more information on the types of roles within the RSNO, please see our Careers Booklet online here.

The opportunity is free, but students must be available to spend two full days in Glasgow at the home of the RSNO, on Monday 15 and Tuesday 16 June 2015.

Accommodation is available for those who do not live in the city – please make a note of this if required on the application form. Closing date for applications is Friday 9 January 2015. Successful applicants will then be invited to attend an interview in Glasgow.

To apply, download an application form here and send it to engage@rsno.org.uk with Takeover 2015 as the subject header.
