Principal Horn
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra invites applications for Principal Horn, with obligation to 3rd and 5th horn and Wagner tuba.
The audition will take place May 18–19, 2026, at Konserthuset Stockholm by personal invitation.
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 on this specific position in the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra or who hold a permanent principal horn 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 on Muvac by 5 April 2026. The video should be recorded in one take, without cuts or edits, and while remaining in frame for the entire duration of the recording.
