For almost 25 years, Oorkaan has been creating theatrical concerts in which the music is the most important thing and there are only musicians on stage. We play in concert halls and theaters and sometimes in a community center or at a festival. We do this for everyone as young as two years old, for small and large ears, for schools or for the whole family. Our performances can be seen and heard in the Netherlands and abroad.

From our spacious and bright office in Amsterdam-West, we work with a small team, our own ensemble of four musicians and various guest ensembles. Together we create two to three new performances a year and play about 120 concerts. We spend a lot of time and attention to everyone's functioning in the team and to everyone's involvement in what is ultimately heard and seen on stage. We want to make our team as diverse as the music we perform in the coming years.

We offer:

  • A salary according to the CAO Drama & Dance, scale VII (€ 3,055 - € 4,690 based on 40 hours), 8 % vacation allowance and € 400 year-end bonus (based on 40 hours)
  • A one-year appointment, which we will extend upon good performance
  • 27 vacation days and 12 Atv days for full employment
  • Personal training budget
  • A small collegial team, flat organization and creative environment
