Why Should You Work Here?

We put people first. With an ongoing nod to the history of classical music, we aren’t afraid to push forward into the future and new norms while respecting tradition. While this statement is about programming, it translates directly to our culture with staff, musicians, and volunteers. We know that when we allow our people agency and flexibility in the workplace, we get the best productivity, innovation, and engagement from all members of our team, allowing us to take our work to new heights and have fun along the way.

Our passion for the mission and focus on excellence is what sets us apart on stage and in the community and we let the work speak for itself. While we take our work very seriously, we try to not take ourselves too seriously. We create with purpose, we play with intent, and we perform with passion. Why? Because we believe it’s possible to inspire a better, inclusive community through music and we want you to be part of that with us.
