The mission of Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) is to enhance the quality of life in our community through music and for nearly 70 years we have been the premier musical organization in Louisiana’s capital city. The quality of the orchestra is outstanding and is under the direction of Maestro Timothy Muffitt, who will soon celebrate 20 seasons with BRSO. We are seeking an Executive Director with strong leadership skills to help guide the organization in implementing our strategic plan, creating new audiences, and continuing the record of performance excellence that our patrons have come to expect.

In particular, BRSO has close relationships with the music programs at Louisiana State University and Southern University, and we expect our Executive Director to continue to build on these partnerships going forward.
It is an exciting time for BRSO with new, diverse programing, a major concert hall renovation, and strong community support. The Board of Directors is committed to the future and continuing the legacy of BRSO for the next 70 years and beyond.
