Job Summary

Wild Arts takes world class performances to beautiful places in the UK and Europe, in an environmentally sustainable way.

In just two years the company has gained a series of five star reviews and accolades from the UK press, and has enjoyed universal audience acclaim for its  performances, re-imagining works for modern ears and dramatising some of the great music of the last 400 years including Handel Messiah and Bach St John Passion.

Wild Arts has enjoyed startling growth and now performs regularly in over 40 UK and European festivals, theatres and venues.

It produces an opera tour in the summer, the Roman River Festival in the autumn, the Messiah in December and a range of other concerts and recording projects during the year. It also works with schools and young artists.

The charity works with schools and young artists to foster future talent; and aims to do all of this in a sustainable, one-planet living way.

In 2024 it will have performed to 10,000 people across 60 venues around the UK.
