THINKING ABOUT A CAREER IN MUSIC?
The League of American Orchestras has been developing its Career Center to include more resources for students and those considering a career in orchestra administration. The new Career Center will feature the League’s existing Informational Interview Program , which gives students (and parents) the opportunity to speak with professionals at the League and in the field about career possibilities. Please visit the new Career Center , where you will soon find career profiles, updated job descriptions, and an online forum for your students to post questions.
