Our Mission: The Nashville Symphony inspires, entertains, and educates through excellence in musical performance.

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 Operations Intern will provide support for day-to-day activities of the Operations department of the Nashville Symphony, which is responsible for concert & event production and orchestra management. The intern will gain hands-on experience with the production of a wide variety of concerts in May-July 2020, in addition to preparing for the 2020-2021 concert season, and learn about other operations activities such as, updating instrument and equipment inventory, and managing a department budget.  Prior experience working with an orchestra is a plus.
