Students learn strategies for professional and artistic development through community engagement as a complement to the regular professional schedule of the orchestral musician. Topics covered include artistic planning, ensemble management, market research, financial planning, public relations, educational and community engagement, and event management. Outcomes are focused on the development and delivery of a single project across the semester.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- work with colleagues on projects that serve and support the artistic aim of an orchestra
- understand the role of orchestra administrators to an extent that communication can be respectful and efficient for all issues in the workplace
- develop complementary skills, knowledge, and understandings of the roles and responsibilities of various aspects of orchestral administration (e.g., artistic development, philanthropy, music library, education outreach, labour negotiations, and contracts)
- gain the ability to intelligently and persuasively promote an appreciation of the orchestra as an artistic vehicle
- establish entrepreneurial skills for early career orchestral musicians, and develop and expand outreach projects that engage various communities (e.g., amateur musicians, music students, general public)
