Co-principal timpani / tutti percussion
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is looking for a co-principal timpani / tutti percussion starting January 1 2025.
The audition takes place at Konserthuset Stockholm, June 18-19 2024, after personal invitation.
We kindly ask applicants to send in a recording for a digital pre-round to be selected and invited to the live audition. Candidates with a similar permanent position with obligation to play both timpani and percussion in a professional orchestra qualifies directly to the live audition and do not need to send in a video recording. If this applies to you, please inform us together with your CV via email to auditions@konserthuset.se.
Pre-selection repertoire:
Johansson/Sibelius/Haag Pukistiana XL 2.0
Xylophone check
Snare drum check
The pre-recordings should be recorded without any cuts or edits with the applicant remaining in frame for the duration of the recording. The repertoire can be recorded in one joint video for both timpani and percussion or a separate video for each instrument. We recommend that the recording is done with an external microphone for sound quality purposes.
Deadline for the pre-recording is May 3 and the invitation to the main audition will be sent out on May 17.

Don’t hesitate to contact Charlotte Råström, assistant orchestra manager, at auditions@konserthuset.se if you have any questions concerning the audition.
