Deadline:
October 10, 2017
The South African National Youth Orchestra
has noticed a shortage of arts administrators and is therefore offering a short
term internship. A small stipend, accommodation and catering is supplied.
Orchestras are complicated and have so many
components that need to work in order for them to run. One of these is good
arts administrators, and not only arts administrators, but arts administrators
that know about orchestras.
“The National Youth Orchestra Foundation
identified this as a problem for our industry and we have actively worked to
help introduce the next generation of arts administrators to the field. The
Foundation runs internship programmes during the year for young individuals who
are interested in learning about Arts Administration,” says an orchestra
spokesperson.
The programme covers how Nationals courses
are planned, prepared and followed through – enabling the candidate to acquire
skills related to the orchestra and its many facets: teamwork, interpersonal
and external communication, arts marketing, operations, orchestra management,
financial management etc.
Those interested in applying should send their
CV and the reason why they would want to be part of the Nationals Team 2017 to
team@sanyo.org.za by October 10, 2017.
Minimum time required to be on the job
would be from December 5 to 16, 2017, in Johannesburg for the orchestra course.
