The NCH is a focal point for music in Ireland. Whether performing from our own traditions, new and old, or hosting the rhythms of the world, this is a place where music is experienced, celebrated and explored.
Regarded as a symbol of national pride and a wonderful cultural destination, Recruiters.ie is delighted to be partnering with the NCH on the appointment of their senior executives in 2023.
The National Concert Hall (NCH) has the ambition to be one of the world’s great centres for music, a centre that will be a symbol of national pride for Irish people everywhere. But above all, a centre for music will enable the NCH to best deliver on its statutory remit for music, the arts, culture and for our nation.
It is now entering an exciting period of change and transformation and is seeking a senior HR professional to contribute to the ongoing strategic and organisational development of the company, as it establishes a dedicated department to support organisational and people development.
Based in the heart of Dublin City Centre, NCH is Ireland’s National Cultural Institution for Music hosting in excess of 1,000 events each year. World-class music and entertainment for all ages are at the heart of its offering, enriching people’s lives through music and the magic of live performance. It is proud to be home to the National Symphony Orchestra along with Music Network, Music Generation, Chamber Choir Ireland, Irish Baroque Orchestra and Crash Ensemble are resident at the NCH.
The NCH, as we know it today, opened its doors on the 9th of September 1981, though the site’s association with music goes back more than a century before that. A concert venue, created for The International Exhibition held on Earlsfort Terrace in 1865, continued to operate after the Guinness family acquired the buildings in 1871.
Following multiple different uses including a University campus, in 1978, following the commitment made by the government four years earlier, work began on developing the site of the National Concert Hall. Since it opened, the NCH has hosted some of the world’s greatest orchestras, conductors and soloists from all over the world.
In 2018 Ireland’s National Symphony Orchestra, which was formerly under the auspices of the national broadcaster RTÉ, came under the management of the NCH. The same year, the Irish Government approved a significant investment which will see the National Concert Hall take its place among the world’s greatest concert halls, providing a home to creators, educators and practitioners of every style and aspect of music, domestic or international, contemporary or traditional.
Two key strategic projects which will drive the realisation of its vision are the multi-million euro plans to redevelop the NCH on Earlsfort Terrace as part of Project Ireland 2040, along with the Government’s decision to transition the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) under the remit of the NCH. This transition elevates the standing of both the NCH and NSO, and enhances capabilities in relation to performances, education and outreach activities.
The NCH Development Plan: Reimagining the Future
The redevelopment plan for the National Concert Hall has been described as both a ‘once-in-a-generation’ refurbishment, and the ‘largest development project ever undertaken on a national cultural institution’.
The redevelopment plans include the restoration and protection of historic buildings, some of which have not been used or maintained since before Independence. It includes expanding the stage and seating capacity of the main auditorium, adding up to 1500 m2 and 225 new seats. It means making the NCH universally accessible so that people of all abilities can appreciate, participate and contribute.
It covers over 16,000m2, with the NCH embracing, encompassing and appropriating under-used and unused rooms and halls, to create rehearsal spaces, study areas, libraries, studios and lounges. It means the future-proofing of our National Cultural Institution for Music. It includes a dedicated rehearsal hall for the NSO, for the first time in its history, in what was the medical library of the university. It includes an all-new 500-seat recital hall.
Super management team that have your back no matter what. Friendly atmosphere. You get to work at various performances and events. You will gain friends for life and find it very difficult to leave.
NCH aspires to reflect what is new and best in Irish cultural life and that drives its aim for greater diversity and inclusivity in all activities. Developing new and innovative ways of giving life to its values is crucial to this role so that NCH can develop into an inclusive, accessible, high-performance, values-led organisation culture.
It could also be the most exciting workplace you’ll ever experience.
Perhaps you’ve been to Dublin or thought of visiting. Maybe you already live here.
It’s a unique city with an atmosphere of its own, big enough to be a world capital yet small enough for you to bump into the same person twice in a week. The National Concert Hall is less than a hundred metres from St. Stephen’s Green in one direction, and from the tree-lined banks of the Grand Canal in the other. Transport to-and-from anywhere is plentiful, with the Luas light rail close by and a choice of buses in all directions.
Working for the NCH, you aren’t just a resident of the city. You’re part of its heartbeat. The National Concert Hall stands alongside Dublin’s other great cultural institutions, The National Gallery, The National Library, The National Museum, The Natural History Museum, Trinity College, and all of the many artistic, cultural and historic sites around the city.
Dublin is a city that’s confident enough to speak its mind, passionate enough to value its artists and open-minded enough to value all music. It’s a great place to be.
