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.
