Invitations to the audition will be sent out on  27 April 2026.

If we receive a high number of applicants, a digital pre-selection may be required. In that case, this will be communicated after the application deadline.

Applicants who have served as a substitute for this specific position in the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra or who hold a permanent co-principal, or higher position in an equivalent orchestra are automatically qualified for the live audition, and therefore do not need to submit a video. If this applies to you, please inform us by email at auditions@konserthuset.se together with your CV.

If required, the recording for the digital pre-selection must be uploaded to Muvac by 12 April 2026. The video can be recorded in two takes, one with the excerpts and one with the concerto. The concerto may be recorded with or without accompaniment. The recordings should be without cuts or edits, and you should remain in frame the entire time.
