Essentials of Orchestra Management, a 10-day intensive talent development program offered by the League of American Orchestras, takes place at the League’s New York offices from February 4 – 13. Twenty-six participants from within the orchestra field and beyond examine all facets of orchestras, learning from a faculty of orchestra, organizational change, diversity, and negotiation experts, among others. Essentials of Orchestra Management provides a blend of the hard skills necessary for a career in orchestras with the leadership capacities to understand and address the seismic changes taking place in the business and cultural environment. “This program offers a bridge from the best of the core practices of orchestras to the next practices that will support the continuing evolution of the art form, the artists, and the organizations,” commented Jesse Rosen, League President and CEO. Led by seminar co-directors Brent Assink, executive director, San Francisco Symphony, and Deborah Rutter, president, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Essentials curriculum features a mix of presentation, discussion, case studies, and creative simulations. Essentials of Orchestra Management provides participants with interactive, experiential learning around all the aspects of running orchestras: artistic programming; business, operational, sales and marketing areas; diversity and community engagement.
