Are you passionate about music?

Music in the Round is seeking an experienced Development Manager who is passionate about what we do, and can develop excellent relationships with a wide range of supporters, donors, participants, staff and organisations. Getting to know existing supporters and Trustees is vital, as is gaining a thorough understanding of our wide range of activity and musicians. This role will include creating a cultivation plan to develop and inspire increased support from existing and new supporters, in collaboration with the Executive Director and Trustees, as well as take the lead on personal approaches to existing supporters and new donors. We are looking for a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion in the way we reach out to people in every aspect of our work.

Music in the Round has supporters who have been involved with us since our earliest beginnings in the 1980s, joined by those who have become Friends very recently to support us in these challenging times. An appeal in early 2020 when lockdown prevented our events from taking place led to a very generous response, and we are looking for someone who can build on this warmth towards us as we plan our activity for the future.

Music in the Round is the leading national promoter of chamber music. Our aim is to bring people and music closer together through performance and participatory activity characterised by passion, excellence and proximity. Founded in Sheffield in 1984 by Peter Cropper, leader of the Lindsay String Quartet, Music in the Round now runs a year-round programme of events in venues across South Yorkshire and the rest of the country, reaching around 30,000 people annually. In 2005 we established a world-class 11-piece group, Ensemble 360, who are our resident musicians and are at the heart of all our events on- and off-stage. A highlight is our annual nine-day Sheffield Chamber Music Festival (SCMF), which takes place in the unique surroundings of the Crucible Studio each May, and we are also known for our extensive Learning & Participation (L&P) programme, which reaches around 10,000 children and young people each year. Music in the Round is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and is supported in kind by Sheffield City Council.
