This post will summarize the duties that are required by the symphony orchestra's Director of Education and the Operations Manager. In cases of larger orchestras, these functions are divided between multiple roles.
Director of Operations
This person is like the glue of the orchestra because they are the one who makes sure that scheduling and production (facility/equipment rental, staging requirements, logistical arrangements) of each event operates steadily, effectively, and with financial responsibility in mind. This Operations Manager must make sure to execute several specifications provided by the master agreement and also corresponds regularly between the orchestra and the rest of the organization. He works closely with Development, Marketing, and Public Relations departments.
Director of Education
This person is responsible for creating, developing, managing, and evaluating each education and outreach program that parallel the organization policies and education goals. The Director of Education plans and regulates all educational activities, and oversees all volunteers and staff participating in any part of a program. The Director of Education serves as a representative for the symphony when working with other arts, education, and civic institutions to establish partnerships in the community. This Director might work with the Marketing Director occasionally to handle ticketing for education programs, brochures, newsletters, flyers and advertisements.
