Halifax, Canada Symphony Nova Scotia Full time

When you work at Symphony Nova Scotia, you’re joining a dedicated and ambitious team that believes passionately in the value orchestral music brings to Nova Scotians.

As Nova Scotia’s only professional orchestra, we’ve been championing symphonic music in the province for 40 years. With a home base in Halifax/K’jipuktuk and performances across the province, Symphony Nova Scotia is proud to be a vibrant, vital part of Nova Scotia’s rich cultural community. From sold-out concerts to free family events, youth and seniors’ activities, and educational partnerships, Symphony Nova Scotia creates unforgettable experiences with truly great music.

As Campaign Director, your contribution will significantly impact the well-being of the wider community. We place a high priority on community engagement, from our flagship education program – the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra – to programs and activities for over 15,000 elementary, junior, and senior high school students in a typical year. Our partnerships with many diverse communities have been recognized for their innovation and creativity. Our audience comes from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds and lived experiences because it makes our organization stronger.

The orchestra of 37 musicians, led by Music Director Holly Mathieson, has repeatedly been praised for its versatility and flexibility, performing everything from baroque to pops to jazz with equal finesse. As Campaign Director, you’ll be part of a performing arts organization that not only brings joy and inspiration to thousands of audience members, but one that also conducts many accessible community programs, including performances in local public libraries, free community concerts including our popular Family series, and online concerts.
