Chief Executive Officer The Queen’s Hall

We’re looking for a Chief Executive Officer who will lead the charity in delivering our new strategic plan, representing the organisation to external stakeholders, building relationships internally and externally while overseeing the day-to-day management of The Queen’s Hall. This is an exciting moment for us as an organisation – we started 2024 (slightly belatedly) celebrating the 200th anniversary of our building with a glorious new commission by Erland Cooper, Hope Park, featuring a magical audience-generated chorus of gannets. Now, we look forward to 2025 with an already packed programme of performances reflecting the unique variety of art forms we are so privileged to be able to host. The Queen’s Hall started life as Hope Park Chapel in 1823 and continued as a place of worship until 1976. It reopened on 6 July 1979, converted into a performance space following fundraising by the (now) Scottish Ensemble, Scottish Philharmonic Singers and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and the Hall remains the home of the SCO to this day. We’ve been mesmerising audiences ever since, attracting more than 90,000 music lovers to over 200 performances each year. We are working to foster the artists and audiences of the future with programmes like the emerging talent-focused AMPLIFI, and curated strands in contemporary folk and jazz. A galaxy of musical talent has graced our stage, drawn by our intimate atmosphere and world-renowned acoustic. The Queen’s Hall is a charity which occupies a very special place in the cultural life of Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole. Our commitment to varied programming means we mean something different to each of our audience members. From classical morning concerts to stand-up comedy, podcast tours to chart-topping indie, hip hop to folk, there is truly something for everyone on our stage.
