• Social media training: creating interesting posts and event creation and invitations
• Emailing area music directors about concerts (free to students) and masterclass opportunities
• Learn how artists are chosen and why
• Program creation and management involved

Please apply if you are a self-starter and can work independently with guidance vs. supervision.

Any intern with the society would be welcome to participate musically. Our Director of Membership Services is also a soprano in the Denton Bach Choir.

Our DBS Orchestra is comprised of early music professionals with a few students.

Male singers are always needed. Musical participation might even include soloist options, but those are solely by audition with our Music Director, Dr. Alfred Calabrese.

Fine Arts Chamber Players, established in 1981, is committed to enriching and enhancing the quality of life for North Texas area residents, especially families and children, through free concerts of classical music and educational activities. An internship with Fine Arts Chamber Players would include:

Fundraising: assisting with researching, writing, and editing corporate and foundation grant requests, and helping staff with donor research

Marketing: increasing the name recognition of FACP through creative marketing opportunities

The Lewisville Lake Symphony is one of the most vibrant regional orchestras in Texas.  The orchestra is fully professional and has a contract with the American Federation of Musicians (AFM.) The business side is run by volunteers with management skills learned in diverse industries.  We truthfully tell donors that we have thrived for more than 30 years by managing their money smartly.  We operate 12 events during the season.  Four are symphony concerts, and four are chamber concerts featuring outstanding students and faculty from the UNT College of Music.  There are two competitions, one for area high school musicians and one open to collegiate-level strings or pianists. Future audiences for classical music are important for classical music so we run an educational concert for the 4,000 third grade students in the Lewisville ISD and a dance version of “Peter and the Wolf.”  Additionally, the Symphony runs fundraising and volunteer motivation events. We need interns who are self-starting, have the ability to dissect an issue and do the work needed to implement the solutions.  If the interns perform well, the Symphony will take time to lay out the real-world mechanics of running an arts organization beyond those in the specifically assigned intern responsibilities.
