Experience

1. Operations Manager

   Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra

   Jan 2012 — Present · Indianapolis, IN

   I am responsible for coordinating the behind-the-scenes activity for the ICO\'s concerts. I love managing all the details of scheduling, working with the staffs at our concert venues (the Schrott Center for the Arts at Butler Arts Center, among others), developing contracts, managing the music library and arranging for necessary equipment and instruments. I also enjoy managing the relationships with our ArtsPartners such as the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, The International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and the American Pianists Association. I coordinate the ICO\'s School Partnership program, scheduling our concert experiences and In-School Residency programs. I was also appointed project manager for the ICO Radio Broadcast, planning out the music and interview content for each week’s show.
