The Autonomous Body Palau de la Música, Congresos y Orquesta de Valencia has approved an Extraordinary Public Employment Offer for 28 labor positions, aiming to reinforce its structure and reduce temporary contracts.

This initiative, as explained by the Councilor for Cultural Action and President of the Palau, José Luis Moreno, is part of the measures for the stabilization of public employment, ensuring the definitive coverage of structural positions and enhancing the quality of public cultural services.
The offer includes 24 positions for the Orquesta de Valencia, across various instrumental specialties such as violin, viola, cello, double bass, oboe/cor anglais, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, timpani, and percussion. Additionally, there is one position for a General Administration Technician, one for an Industrial Technical Engineer, and two for administrative staff.
The selection processes have already commenced, with open calls for trumpet, horn, the four violin positions, general administration technician, and a work pool for administrative staff. These calls aim to consolidate the Orchestra's and administrative services' staff, enhancing the institution's artistic excellence and management.
In parallel, the Banda Sinfónica Municipal de Valencia is also advancing in new selection processes to fill one band professor position in Bassoon and another in Trumpet-Flugelhorn. These processes strengthen a historic ensemble and its role as a public asset in the Valencian musical ecosystem.
The Conservatorio Municipal de Música de Valencia José Iturbi is also enhancing its training and teaching opportunities. By the end of 2025, tests were conducted for a Harmony professor position, establishing a work pool, and a pool for Music Language will be announced soon. Furthermore, the center is hosting its first public examinations in 20 years, covering specialties like Piano, Chamber Music, Clarinet, Oboe, Violin, Cello, and Guitar, starting in July.
These coordinated efforts reinforce the Valencia Music City strategy, which seeks to generate professional opportunities, consolidate public structures, and support the development of music professionals. The stabilization of positions, selection processes, and new teaching calls demonstrate a common line of work to enhance professional performance, music education, and cultural management.
From Valencia Music City, it has been emphasized that the city's musical ecosystem is becoming more solid, stable, and connected, offering real opportunities and consolidating the city as a musical capital with talent and long-term vision.
