* For Immediate Release *

The Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra is announcing a search for someone to serve in the role of Executive Director of the organization. This is currently a volunteer position that requires a commitment of 5-10 hours per week.

The Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra is a volunteer community orchestra whose mission is to supplement the artistic offerings in the Nashville music community. Since its founding in 2004, the NPO has become Nashville's premiere community ensemble, performing concerts of exciting, demanding repertoire for all audiences. Players of differing levels and backgrounds perform a diverse mix of repertoire - different genres and styles anchored in the classical tradition. NPO concerts feature soloists from the area and new music by local composers.

We are looking for someone passionate about great music, enterprising and creative, personable, solution driven, and willing to commit to a long-term relationship with the orchestra. This is an excellent opportunity for the right person to make a difference in the community by helping grow a dynamic organization of dedicated volunteers.

The Executive Director works closely with the Music Director, the Director of Public Relations and Development, and the Board to fulfill the mission of the orchestra. The ideal candidate would lead in the areas of Administration, Strategic Planning, Budget and Finance, Development and Fundraising, Communication, Partnering, and other duties.

Please submit a letter of application to the Interim Executive Director explaining your interest in this position, past experience, and unique qualifications. Applications will be reviewed beginning March 1, 2010. For more information e-mail EDSearch@nashvillephilharmonic.org.
