Philharmonic Association in the search for a President and

As the senior staff administrative position within the

Philharmonic Association (RPA). Reporting to the Board of Trustees,
the President and CEO will be accountable for all operational
aspects of the organization and implementing the policies set by

Trustees to adopt constructive, progressive, sound, and practical
plans for the continued development of the organization and the

The Reno Phil is northern Nevada’s largest performing arts
organization with music for all tastes and ages. Finishing its 54rd
season, the orchestra, led by Music Director and Conductor Laura
Jackson, is a part-time, per-service orchestra composed of over 60
professional musicians who perform annually throughout the Reno,
Carson Valley, and Lake Tahoe region. The Reno Phil oversees and
operates the professional orchestra, a symphonic chorus, four youth
orchestras, and numerous educational and outreach programs.
Musicians of the professional orchestra, youth orchestras, various
ensembles, and education programs offer more than 60 performances
each year, playing to over 50,000 people—half of them school-aged
children. As a federally registered 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization in the state of Nevada, the Reno Phil engages an
active Board of Trustees, staff, volunteers, patrons, donors,
sponsors, partner organizations, and the community to ensure that
it will thrive through future generations. The orchestra operates
under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the American
Federation of Musicians.
The Reno Phil is a resident company of the Pioneer Center for the
Performing Arts in Reno, Nevada. The flagship of the Reno Phil’s
concert offerings is a six-concert series, Classix, performed at
the Pioneer Center. Guest soloists of local and international
acclaim are invited to perform with the orchestra. Laura Jackson
thoughtfully selects programming that will inspire and challenge
both the audience and the orchestra, balancing traditional with
contemporary. The Reno Phil also offers four performances of
Spirit of the Season in December—a variety-show-style
holiday concert conducted by Jason Altieri; a free and
open-to-the-public Family Concert in the fall; two Youth Orchestra
showcases; various recitals and ensemble performances; and a summer
season that includes a variety of concerts and events, including
the ever-popular Pops on the River, Bravo on the Beach Summer
Concert Series, and others, at both indoor and outdoor
venues.
The Reno Philharmonic's award-winning and diverse education
department gained national recognition with its four youth
orchestras, a series of eight Young People’s Concerts performed
throughout the school year, the Reno Philharmonic Association Kids
(RPA Kids) after-school music instruction program, and the Discover
Music program which brings music ensembles into schools. The Reno
Phil began in 1969, with the first public performance on August 3rd
at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. The fourth conductor
in the orchestra’s history, Laura Jackson, joined the Reno Phil for
the 2009-2010 season. Since then, she continues to captivate
audiences, win praise, and gain local and national recognition for
her inspiring leadership, innovative programming, and passionate
community engagement.
