The friendly face of our music performance experiences

What is it?

The Front of House Initiative is an opportunity for undergraduate students in 2023-24 to be the face for the Department of Music during our International Concert Series and assist with the management and operations of 'The Platform'.

A minimum of ten students will be selected and will be assigned specific projects/events throughout the academic year. 

Roles and responsibilities may include:

  • Monitor and address queries during any Department of Music concert or International Concert Series event;
  • Assist with audience patron questions;
  • Be an ambassador and local 'voice' for the International Concert Series and Department of Music events;
  • Manage rehearsal and recording sessions, from scheduling to on-hand support, and assist with the running of the concert;
  • Be the face of Royal Holloway Music Department, welcoming audience members, checking tickets, guiding to seats, receiving feedback and making an all-round positive experience for visitors to our university.

This role can be used as an alternative for participation in any other staff-led music ensemble such as an orchestra or choir and will count towards your participation remit in your Performance-based undergraduate module.
