The BSO Finance Team

Behind every performance, rehearsal, and tour, the Finance Team helps make the music possible. We are an essential part of the orchestra, ensuring that everything runs smoothly so our musicians and creative teams can focus on what they do best — bringing extraordinary music to life.

From supporting concert seasons and community work to managing corporate funding, grants, and donor income, the team plays a key role in turning artistic ambition into reality. We work closely with colleagues across the organisation, helping to shape projects that are both creatively inspiring and financially sustainable.

As a charity, we rely on the careful stewardship of our resources, and the Finance Team ensures every pound is used thoughtfully and transparently. Whether it’s paying the Orchestra, the Head Office staff or freelance musicians, planning budgets for new productions, or reporting to our supporters and funders, our work underpins everything we achieve.

We are a supportive and collaborative team that values curiosity, clarity, and a shared passion for the arts. It’s a place for someone who wants to contribute to something bigger — helping to sustain live music, support artists, and connect audiences through the power of orchestral
performance.
