The board of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Foundation meets approximately five times a year. Board members are also available for consultation among themselves and for discussions with the Executive Board and employee representative bodies. 

Board positions at our Foundation are held on a volunteer basis for a four-year term, which may be extended for an additional four years.

We greatly appreciate your involvement with the orchestra through attending concerts and participating in international performances or meetings with staff and/or stakeholders.

We strive to ensure that the board has a balanced composition in terms of gender, age, and sociocultural background.

An appointment as a board member of our Foundation requires approval by the Municipal Executive of the City of Amsterdam. Recruitment and selection are handled by a selection committee composed of board members.

Applications, including a brief cover letter and resume, may be submitted by March 15, 2025, to our HR department (peno@concertgebouworkest.nl) with the subject line “board vacancy”; they will forward your application to the selection committee.
