As the artistic leader of the organization, the Artistic Director will play an active role as a thought- partner to the Executive Director in planning for the organization’s overall advancement. Supporting and partnering with artists, staff, students, board and volunteers, the Artistic Director will operationalize the strategic plan while building a thriving, creative and diverse culture serving Rosebud patrons, students, artists, and the Rosebud community. The Artistic Director will conceptualize and implement a plan to continue to grow Rosebud’s artistic objectives, collaborating with the Executive Director and Board of Governors in devising and realizing successful artistic strategies for the future of the organization.

The Artistic Director will be a person who will find personal fulfillment in being part of the future of Rosebud.

The Organization

In 1973, LaVerne Erickson, started the Rosebud Camp of the Arts as a summer outreach program for Calgary youth who had rarely been outside of the city. The summer programs soon expanded into weekend vacations throughout the school year and in 1977 the Rosebud Fine Arts High School was formed with five students attending.

As part of Rosebud’s centenary in 1983, the school’s drama department launched the Rosebud Historical Music Theatre. Staff and students wrote the play, rehearsed it, and performed it on an outdoor stage, drawing hundreds of interested theatre goers. Thus, began the widely acclaimed Rosebud Theatre which now attracts thousands annually to its productions.

Today, Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts encompasses a post-secondary guild school focused on professional training in various areas of theatre and a professional company producing five plays throughout the year in two venues, the Rosebud Opera House (seating capacity 232)and the Rosebud Studio Stage (Black Box Theatre, seating 65-95). Offering matinee and evening shows up to seven times a week, each Opera House performance includes a full buffet and livedinner music in the quaint setting of the historic Haskayne-Kenney Mercantile.

The mission of Rosebud is to enrich lives by offering grace and understanding through the art of storytelling, the practice of mentorship, and the gift of hospitality.

Position Announcement
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FARGO-MOORHEAD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Fargo, North Dakota

Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra (FMSO) invites applications and recommendations for the full-time position of Executive Director.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Executive Director, working in partnership with Music Director Christopher Zimmerman, is responsible for managing the human and financial resources of the FMSO to achieve the orchestra’s mission and artistic goals. The annual budget is  approximately $850,000.  

The Executive Director is the primary leader in strategic and financial planning, marketing, fund-raising, and building relationships with individuals and organizations in the community.

Fargo Moorhead Symphony Orchestra
Chartered in 1931, the FMSO is a professional ensemble of 72 musicians, primarily faculty members of three local colleges and schools, all of whom are paid for all rehearsals and performances.  The orchestra performs five pairs of subscription concerts in the Festival Concert Hall (997 seats) in the Reineke Fine Center on the campus of North Dakota State University.  The FMSO serves an annual audience of approximately 20,000, with its array of Masterworks, chamber “Fun-Size” concerts, pops holiday and family concerts, and the annual “Symphony Rocks” at an outdoor venue, as well as serving a wider listening audience through rebroadcasts of its concerts over Minnesota and North Dakota Public Radio stations.

With its long-standing tradition of presenting high quality live performances, the FMSO aspires to continue to be a cultural leader which exemplifies musical excellence and advocates for the arts in its community. 

Music Director Christopher Zimmerman
Maestro Zimmerman has served as Music Director of the FMSO since 2013, also serving as music director of the Fairfax (Virginia) Symphony Orchestra.

He was the winner of the American Conducting Prize in 2011.  His debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was followed by engagements with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.  He has since conducted orchestral and opera performances all over the world.

A graduate of Yale with a master’s degree from the University of Michigan, Mr. Zimmerman also studied with Seiji Ozawa and Gunther Schuller at Tanglewood and at the Pierre Monteux School.  He served as an apprentice under Sir Andrew Davis at the Toronto Symphony and as assistant conductor to Vaclav Neumann at the Czech Philharmonic.  He is a much sought after clinician and teacher and has held faculty and music director positions at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and at the Hartt School.      

The Community:
Located approximately 250 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul on the Minnesota-North Dakota border, Fargo-Moorhead is located in the Red River Valley.  It is a regional center for cultural, educational, transportation, financial, retail, and medical services.  A vibrant community with a metropolitan population of 250,000, including a student population of over 25,000, attending one of the three institutions of higher education.  Fargo-Moorhead has been named an “All-American City” in recognition of its strong educational opportunities, premier health care facilities, progressive business environment, and rich arts and cultural climate.
