Essentials of Orchestra Management, the League of American Orchestras’ professional development seminar, will be at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School from July 8 to 18. Presented in association with USC’s Arts Leadership Program, Essentials, the premier orchestra management course in the United States, prepares orchestra professionals to be effective administrators and leaders by giving them the knowledge and tools they need. Led by a faculty of high-profile orchestra executives, leadership experts, artists, and arts activists with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, Essentials is designed to address both theory and practice.

The immersive Essentials experience is open to early-career professionals, musicians, graduate students, career changers, and experienced administrators who wish to expand and deepen their knowledge of orchestral management. Learn more about Essentials in the current issue of Symphony magazine.

Essentials of Orchestra Management is made possible by generous grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
