Led by Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and President and CEO Alan D. Valentine, the Nashville Symphony has established an international profile with its innovative programming and steadily expanding discography. Founded in 1946, the 83-member orchestra is today the largest performing arts nonprofit in the state of Tennessee. With 140 performances annually, the Symphony’s concert schedule encompasses a diverse mix of classical, pops, jazz and family programs, along with extensive community outreach efforts.

The Violins of Hope are a collection of restored instruments played by Jewish musicians during The Holocaust. These instruments have survived concentration camps, pogroms and many long journeys to tell remarkable stories of injustice, suffering, resilience and survival. The Nashville Symphony is bringing the Violins of Hope to Nashville to facilitate a citywide dialogue about music, art, social justice and free expression. Please visit ViolinsofHopeNashville.org for more information.

The Violins of Hope Project Intern will provide support for organizing musician schedules, coordinating holocaust instruments to be played, and in some cases, programming of multiple chamber concerts and multiple partners throughout the Violins of Hope Nashville program. The Violins of Hope Project Intern will also be expected to coordinate with each Programming Partner and venue to ensure a seamless, high quality event.
