The Organization
Founded in Boston in 1815, the Handel and Haydn Society is the oldest continuously performing arts organization in the United States
In 1985, Handel and Haydn launched the Karen S. and George D. Levy Educational Outreach Program to address the lack of performing arts education in public schools resulting from severe budget cuts. Today, this award-winning program reaches 10,000 children throughout Greater Boston. The 2010–2011 Season marks the 25th Anniversary of the Educational Outreach Program, a landmark achievement for the Society and an opportunity to further expand and strengthen the program. Through intensive, original instruction, the Society is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of performers and listeners of classical music.
As Handel and Haydn plans for its Bicentennial in 2015, Artistic Director Harry Christophers has set forth ambitious artistic plans which position the Society’s core identity as performer, educator, resource center, and community partner. In addition to exploring both core repertoire and less familiar works of the baroque and classical periods, the Society continues to develop a diverse audience and make its programs available to all, while expanding its national and international touring schedule, releasing live commercial recordings and further developing its relationships with area cultural and higher education institutions.
The Opportunity
The Handel and Haydn Society is at a turning point in its nearly 200 hundred year history. H&H has recently undergone transitions at the Executive, Artistic, and Board leadership levels, with each appointment representing opportunities for artistic innovation, increased community engagement, and fiscal stability and growth. The Society seeks a Marketing Manager to work with the Marketing Department to build upon the success of its sales and audience development program.
H&H currently raises approximately half of its $3M operating budget through private sources. The Marketing Department is responsible for approximately $1.4M in sales through subscription and single ticket and ancillary income annually.
