League of American Orchestras Launches Emerging Leaders Program

Last week, the League of American Orchestras announced the newly created, two-year Emerging Leaders Program, along with the program’s first class of seven young orchestra administrators. The League says that the Emerging Leaders Program will offer strong peer network-building opportunities, including frequent in-person meetings at the League’s New York City offices; the chance to jointly curate content at the League’s National Conference; and a group visit to other organizations. In addition, participants will work with designated mentors both at their home orchestras and outside the field, and also receive financial resources to address personalized professional-development needs.
The inaugural Emerging Leaders Program participants are:
Caleb Bailey, Orchestra Manager, Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra (Lincoln, NE)
Jennifer Barton, Individual Giving Manager, Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra (Jacksonville, FL)
Nicholas Cohen, Director of Community Engagement, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Bradley Evans, Assistant Orchestra Personnel Manager, San Francisco Symphony
Yoo-Jin Hong, Director of Civic Orchestra and Training Programs, Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Michael Reichman, General Manager, Symphony Nova (Boston, MA)
Rebecca Zabinski, Artistic Associate, Houston Symphony
