About Us:

Founded by Dr. Antonia Brico, Denver Philharmonic Orchestra is a semi-professional community-based orchestra with a rich history spanning over 75 years. Our mission is to reimagine the classical music experience for our entire community. We seek to bridge centuries and cultures across continents through live classical music that inspires and engages a large and diverse audience in the greater Denver community.

Board Responsibilities:

As a board member, you will play a crucial role in guiding the strategic direction of the organization. Your responsibilities will include:

  1. Monthly Board Meetings:
    Attend our virtual board meetings, which are held on the third Monday of each month and typically last about one and a half hours. These meetings provide a platform for discussing and making decisions on important organizational matters.
  2. Committee Involvement:
    Serve on committees that focus on specific areas such as fundraising, outreach, marketing, finance, or governance. Committee meetings are typically held outside of the regular board meetings, and your active participation in these committees will contribute to the overall success of the organization.
  3. Concert Attendance and Volunteering:
    Attend our concerts as a representative of the board, enjoying incredible performances while showing your support. Volunteering at concerts also helps create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for our audience.
  4. Fundraising Support:
    Assist with fundraising efforts such as donor cultivation, grant writing, and event planning. Your involvement in fundraising activities will help secure the financial resources necessary for the orchestra’s sustainability and growth.
  5. Outreach and Community Engagement:
    Collaborate with our outreach team to develop and implement initiatives that promote classical music education and community involvement. This may include partnerships with local schools, organizing educational workshops, or participating in community events.

Time Commitment and Compensation:

This is a volunteer position that requires approximately 4 to 8 hours of involvement per month. The time commitment includes attending the monthly board meeting, committee meetings as necessary, concert attendance, and general volunteering, as well as contributing to fundraising and outreach efforts.

Qualifications:

We are seeking individuals who possess the following qualifications:

  • Passion for classical music and the arts
  • Strong commitment to community engagement
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a team
  • Experience in board governance, fundraising, or nonprofit management (preferred but not required)
