Founded in 1978, Pacific Symphony enriches the human spirit through
superior performances of classical and symphonic music. Pacific
Symphony is located in Orange County; California's second most
populous county, which boasts a rich arts tradition strongly
supported by an engaged public. The region is a tourism magnet,
home of Disneyland, as well as a major financial and business
hub.
Pacific Symphony is a highly dynamic and innovative organization,
led artistically by Music Director Carl St.Clair and operationally
by President John Forsyte. The Symphony has been designated as a
Tier One Orchestra by the League of American Orchestras, joining
the ranks of prestigious orchestras such as the LA Phil, Chicago

In most years, Pacific Symphony presents more than 100 concerts
annually and serves 250,000 community members. The Symphony is
nationally and internationally recognized for performance
excellence, strong community engagement through education and other
programming, and for commissioned new works by contemporary
composers. Pacific Symphony twice received prestigious ASCAP Awards
for Adventuresome Programming and was showcased in the League of
American Orchestras' nationally released publication entitled
Fearless Journeys. Pacific Symphony's Class Act elementary
school education program has been honored by the National Endowment
for the Arts and the League of American Orchestras for its
exemplary orchestra education.
Pacific Symphony is committed to attracting, engaging, and serving
a larger and more diverse population in Orange County and the
region. The more diverse the population it engages, the more its
institution truly serves Orange County’s communities. Pacific
Symphony maintains that achieving diversity requires an enduring
commitment to inclusion that must find full expression in its
organizational culture, values, norms, and behaviors.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience is required for this position as is at least seven years
