Who we are.
Founded in 1949 by Harry Blech to delight audiences with the works of Mozart and Haydn, London Mozart Players (LMP) is one of the world’s finest chamber ensembles, dedicated to harnessing the passion and talent of our musicians so our audiences can revel in the joy of world-class live performance.

Well-known internationally for working with many of the world’s greatest conductors and soloists, they’re proud to have developed a reputation for making and playing adventurous, ambitious and accessible music.
About the role
LMP receive no core Arts Council funding, so they rely solely on ticket sales and the support of their donors to continue their work. This is why this Development Manager role is critical to the orchestra. The Development Team, the orchestra players and the Trustees have uniquely close relationships, with everyone buying into the importance of fundraising and willing to play their part.
This vital role will see you:
- Lead on creating a new fundraising strategy.
- Be the face of fundraising at LMP, holding important relationships with donors, colleagues and players, and internal and external stakeholders.
- Develop, build and maintain a pipeline of support across all income streams identified as areas of interest, with specific focus on:
- Individual Giving
- Major Donor
- Events
- Corporate
- Ensure integration between different fundraising functions so income is maximised, and no opportunities are missed.
- Line manage the Development Team.
- Be a key part of the senior leadership team.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an experienced fundraiser with a strategic mindset and the ability to see the bigger picture. An expert in individual giving, mid-level and major donor fundraising would be highly advantageous.
You will be an adept relationship builder who can communicate effectively across a diverse range of audiences. As a natural leader, you will be comfortable collaborating closely with colleagues across the organisation.
Suitable candidates will be engaged, interested and passionate about music, not just classical, with an understanding that the arts are an essential part of society and can convey that convincingly to donors.
