The Autonomous Body Palau de la Música, Congresses and Orchestra of València has approved its Extraordinary Public Employment Offer 2025, comprising 28 permanent labor positions aimed at strengthening its artistic and administrative structure and advancing the reduction of temporary employment.

“With this action –explained the Councilor for Cultural Action and President of the Palau, José Luis Moreno– the Palau de la Música continues to implement the measures provided for in state regulations for the stabilization of public employment, ensuring the definitive coverage of structural positions and reinforcing the quality of public cultural services”.

The offer includes 24 positions for the Orquestra de València in various instrumental specialties: 4 violin, 4 viola, 3 cello, 3 double bass, 1 oboe/cor anglais, 2 clarinet, 1 bassoon, 1 horn, 1 trumpet, 1 trombone, 1 bass trombone, 1 timpani, and 1 percussion; in addition to one General Administration Technician position, one Technical Industrial Engineer position, and two administrative positions.

The body has already begun the execution of this extraordinary offer by announcing various positions. Currently, the trumpet and horn positions, the four violin positions, the General Administration Technician position, and a work pool for two administrative staff positions are open for application.

These calls will allow for the continued consolidation of the Orquestra de València's staff and the Palau's administrative services, strengthening both artistic excellence and the management capacity of one of the city's benchmark musical institutions, the councilor added.

The Banda Sinfónica Municipal is also part of this boost to public musical employment. Currently, selection exercises are underway through open competitive examination to fill one band professor position in the Bassoon specialty and another band professor position in the Trumpet-Flugelhorn specialty.

“These processes allow for reinforcing the artistic staff of a historic ensemble, deeply linked to the musical, festive, and cultural life of València, and consolidate the Municipal Band's function as one of the great public assets of the Valencian musical ecosystem,” emphasized the Councilor for Cultural Action.

In this context, the Conservatori Municipal de Música de València José Iturbi also reinforces its role as a space for training, professionalization, and the generation of teaching opportunities.

At the end of 2025, tests were conducted to fill a Harmony professor position, establishing a work pool. Furthermore, the next call for a Music Language work pool to cover a vacancy is planned.

The center also faces a particularly significant milestone: the first competitive examinations in 20 years. The initial exercises will begin in July and will include specialties in Piano, Chamber Music, Clarinet, Oboe, Violin, Cello, and Guitar, in a process that represents a significant advance for teaching staff stability, staff renewal, and the strengthening of public music education in the city.

The coordinated promotion of these processes reinforces a central idea of the València Music City strategy: a musical city is defined not only by its programming but also by its capacity to generate professional opportunities, consolidate public structures, and support the development of those who make music possible.

This has been highlighted by València Music City: the stabilization of positions in the Orquestra de València, the selection processes in the Banda Sinfónica Municipal, and the new teaching calls from the Conservatori José Iturbi demonstrate a common line of work aimed at strengthening musical employability from three complementary areas: professional performance, music education, and cultural management.

“With these actions, València is advancing in the construction of a more solid, stable, and connected musical ecosystem, capable of offering real opportunities to musicians, educators, and professionals linked to the sector,” stated the strategy's management, adding that “within the framework of València Music City, musical employability is thus consolidated as a key element to guarantee the future of music in the city, strengthen its institutions, and project València as a musical capital with talent, structure, and long-term vision.”
