Organization
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Banff Centre) exists to inspire artists and leaders to make their unique contribution to society and aspires to be the global leader in arts, culture, and creativity. Founded in 1933 and located in Banff National Park, Banff Centre’s history is the story of some of the most iconic and outstanding artists from Canada and around the world who have helped forge the Canadian cultural identity.

In January 2009, Alberta’s Minister of Advanced Education and Technology confirmed a mandate for Banff Centre as a specialized Arts and Culture Institution providing non-parchment, post-secondary education programs in the arts and creativity, as well as in leadership development, mountain culture, and the environment. As Canada’s leading post-graduate arts institution, Banff Centre offers intensive training and career development programs for emerging and established artists across all artistic disciplines, including opera, music, dance, film and media, mountain culture, visual arts, and Indigenous arts. As a champion of arts and creativity, Banff Centre Leadership programs prepare and empower leaders from a wide range of sectors to make an impact in a rapidly shifting world. Its programs integrate the power of the arts, the wisdom of Indigenous practice, and the extraordinary beauty of Banff National Park. Programs in the cultural, Indigenous, and corporate sectors connect participants with others who share their commitment to positive change in cultural institutions, Indigenous communities, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government.

Prior to the global pandemic, Banff Centre annually welcomed more than 3,500 artists and leaders in approximately 120 learning programs and more than 26,000 attendees participated in 360 conferences. Activities included more than 150 premieres, 50 commissioned artistic works, and 400 performances and events for approximately 80,000 audience members. Banff Centre’s performance facilities include the newly renovated 638-seat Jenny Belzberg Theatre, as well as the 246-seat Margaret Greenham Theatre, which consists of a studio space with a fixed audience rake, soft black masking, and a fixed grid in a venue that is used extensively for dance, drama, intimate music events, and meetings. Additionally, Rolston Recital Hall, with a maximum seating capacity of 226, has a natural acoustic setting in a venue that can be configured for performance or recording situations. From the stage, performers have an extraordinary view of the majestic mountain peaks, and its attached control room is used to record from the hall or Bentley Chamber Music Studio, which seats up to 100. The Club, with a total capacity of 161 or 120 seated, is a cabaret space with a low stage, flexible seating, limited backstage space, and a warm and intimate atmosphere. The Shaw Amphitheatre is Banff Centre's most majestic and engaging venue with a spectacular 360-degree view of Banff's mountain ranges and an open starry sky at night. In the heart of Banff Centre’s campus, the 1,700-seat outdoor amphitheatre is an ideal location for a post-session event or can be enjoyed from a private reception on one of the Kinnear Centre's terraces.

L’Orchestre national des jeunes du Canada (NYO Canada) est un organisme caritatif sans but lucratif dont la mission est de recruter les meilleurs jeunes musiciens et musiciennes classiques de tous les coins du pays en vue de les préparer pour une carrière en musique orchestrale professionnelle. Depuis sa fondation en 1960, NYO Canada est devenu un incubateur reconnu à l’échelle internationale et compte parmi les principaux orchestres de jeunes du monde. Un tiers des musiciens d’orchestre professionnels au Canada sont des anciens de NYO Canada.

President & Chief Executive Officer

The National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYO) is a not-for-profit charitable organization whose mission is to recruit the best young classical musicians from across Canada and prepare them for careers as professional orchestral musicians. Since its founding in 1960, NYO has evolved into an internationally recognized incubator and is among the leading youth orchestras in the world. One-third of Canada’s professional orchestral musicians are NYO graduates. The Orchestra has performed in every major Canadian city and twelve countries, including concerts in Europe and Asia. Due to the retirement of the long-serving incumbent, NYO is seeking its next CEO to achieve its ambitious strategic goals and growth plans.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO is responsible for managing NYO’s artistic, educational, human and financial resources in order to carry out the organization’s mission. The CEO works with a team of dedicated staff and about 50 faculty members and staff every summer, overseeing a large operating budget and endowment fund. The CEO guides philanthropic endeavours, forges new partnerships, and elevates the organization’s profile and national presence.

The ideal candidate is a highly skilled leader and administrator with a deep passion for music and its impact, especially in the lives of youth. A strategic mindset and experience in fundraising and external relations will position the incoming CEO to represent NYO nationally and around the world. Several years of experience leading in a senior capacity and managing a team is essential, as is knowledge of the workings of non-profits and arts and cultural organizations. In addition, experience with musical curriculum development, working with youth, and travel/touring management will help round out the ideal profile. Bilingualism is a significant asset.

NYO invites and encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including those from groups traditionally underrepresented in employment and who may contribute to the organization’s diversification. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Please advise Odgers Berndtson if you require accommodation at any point in the search process.

Applications are encouraged immediately at https://www.odgersberndtson.com/en/careers/18009. Consideration of candidates will begin in June, with the new CEO to ideally take office in October 2022. For more information, please contact Julia Robarts and Kyle Mechar of Odgers Berndtson at nyo@odgersberndtson.com

Odgers Berndtson is deeply committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all the work that we do. As part of our efforts to better understand our ability to reach as broad a pool of candidates as possible for our searches, our DEI team would like to encourage you to take a moment and access our Self-Declaration Form.
