PRINCIPAL PLAYERS. If any member, the Principal Conductor, the Orchestra Manager or the Chief Executive, is concerned about either the professional conduct or the playing standard of one of the Section Principals, it should be discussed with the Chief Executive who shall decide whether or not to raise the issue. The Chief Executive will implement any procedure involving a Principal Player. When such action is taken, the Chief Executive will speak to the member concerned and explain the specific reason(s) for concern. This discussion will be confirmed in writing within seven days. If a minimum of three months or nine concerts (whichever is longer) remain before the end of the current 12 month period of work, the member will be given until the end of that current 12 month period of work to improve their playing/conduct. If after that time sufficient improvement has not been made, the member will not be offered further work as a member with Manchester Camerata. Judgement will be made by the Chief Executive in discussion with the Principal Conductor and Leader (unless the Leader is the member in question), String Principals (if the member in question is a string player), or Wind Principals (if the member in question is a wind player). If less than three months or nine concerts remain until the end of the current 12 month period, the member will be offered membership of Manchester Camerata for the following 12 month period, but will be expected to improve their performance/conduct to an acceptable level within that period. The Chief Executive, in discussion with the Principal Conductor and Leader (unless the Leader is the member in question), String Principals (if the member in question is a string player), or Wind Principals (if the member in question is a wind player), will decide whether or not to offer the musician further membership of Manchester Camerata.
