The choice of a music director is the single most important artistic decision your orchestra can make—one that affects every aspect of your orchestra’s existence. Whether you are beginning a search or in the midst of one, this seminar will help you assess artistic needs, define the role of your music director, and explore a variety of search strategies. Practical exercises in consensus building, interviewing, and musical evaluation are also featured. Designed for search committees of staff, trustees, and musicians.
If your orchestra is beginning a music director search, or is
considering one in the future, the Music Director Search Seminar is an
invaluable resource in navigating an often complex search process. The
Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview immediately follows the Search
Seminar, and will feature eight highly-talented conductors showcasing
their skill with the Nashville Symphony. (view
