Why join up with the OSM?

Each day in the heart of Montreal’s cultural metropolis, a continually evolving orchestra comes alive, thanks to the dedication, creativity, and passion of its members who work in various capacities. The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM) is so much more than a musical ensemble: it is an institution devoted to lifting spirits, moving hearts, and building connections within its community.

There are several ways to be part of the extraordinary cultural organization that is the OSM: as a musician, an administrative personnel member, a chorister, or a volunteer. Whether you are an accomplished virtuoso or an eager amateur, there is a place for you in our large musical family!

The OSM embodies core values that lie at the heart of its societal mission. Excellence is our compass: we strive to stretch the frontiers of musical performance and artistic creativity.   Innovation guides each one of our initiatives, pushing us to constantly explore new avenues for sharing our music. Passion enlivens every note that we play, every project we initiate, every interaction we enjoy with our public. And finally, generosity is the foundation of our engagement in the community; it moves us to share the benefits of music ever more widely, with people of all ages and of all cultural and social backgrounds.     

Being part of the OSM team is far more than a job or a volunteer commitment. It’s an opportunity to contribute to something greater than the sum of individuals, to leave a lasting imprint on the fabric of our city and of our society. It’s being part of a family known for its passion and dedication, in which every voice counts and every talent is celebrated.

Be part of our institution of excellence, innovation, passion, and generosity. Let us together make music resound in the heart of our city and beyond, for present and future generations.

Bienvenue à l’Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. Bienvenue chez vous.
