Attractive young female percussionists wanted for new Percussion Quartet.
Classical Music UK has been commissioned by a European consortium to create a new
'all-girl' percussion quartet for development for TV, recording and live touring work.
The group will be developed and marketed along similar lines to the successful
all-girl string quartet 'Bond' and repertoire will range from tuned percussion quartet
arrangements of well known classical chamber music, through drum kit battles, Latin
American styles, audience participation, to trance and other modern dance music forms.
New stage shows and percussion instruments are being devised for the group and guest
spots are planned - for live and recorded performances - with artists from other music
genres including rap, opera and baroque styles.
A significant merchandising and endorsement package is planned.
The successful applicants will be talented female percussionists based in Europe and
are likely to be under 25 years of age. They will be attractive and feisty and will
possess a stage presence and a appealing personality. They will also be passionate
about drums and percussion and be able to talk publicly on the subject with
confidence.
Applications should be made by email only to Mark Walmsley at
editor@classicalmusic.co.uk and should include:
Full name and postal address
Email address
Telephone number
A brief description of playing experience and studies
A full length and close up photo (or link to them)

Is this a joke???
Does anyone else find this add offensive? Even if I was an attractive female (I'm an awkward, unattractive male) I wouldn't audition for this quartet. As a musician I want to get gigs because of musical ability, not the ability to look sexy while playing the drums. Let me also say that groups like the all-girl string quartet "Bond" have done more to objectify women than Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner ever have.
I wouldn't be caught dead. I hope no other young girls would either. These people are ripping off Blast and selling it with sex appeal. Boo.
