Seeking Board members!

Do you love Classical and Romantic music? Are you passionate about using HIP to transform lives around Australia? Could you bring unique skills or resources to take Australia’s leading HIP orchestra into the future?

ARCO’s Board has vacancies and is looking for new members who can complement our existing array of skills, interests, geographic locations and resources. As volunteers, they contribute to the success of an internationally-acclaimed orchestra of excellence, with meaningful education programs that inspire community and create pathways for emerging music professionals.

We are a national organisation, and our Board members can be based anywhere in Australia. They need to be committed to support and lead ARCO via regular meetings, good governance, physical presence where possible, and through social, professional and financial networks.
