Chief Executive Officer
|
|
|
|
As a result of the success and growth of the orchestra’s program, MCO is establishing a full-time management structure which includes the position of Chief Executive Officer.
|
The current General Manager has been in the role for six years during which time the orchestra's budget has grown from under $70,000 to over $1 million, the orchestra has been reconstituted, a regional tour has been established and the major performance venue has transferred from BMW Edge to Melbourne Recital Centre. The orchestra has staged the ABC Classic 100 Concerto concert (2007) and the outstanding Marriner Festival (2009). Subscriptions in 2009 are up 60% on the prior years.
The General Manager will be stepping into the new part-time role of Development Manager in 2010 and we are seeking an appropriately qualified and experienced person to replace her and lead the orchestra through the next stage of its development.
