The Syracuse Philharmonic: Central New Yorks House Band 1

5-year Phased Plan

The Syracuse Philharmonic will be grown over five years. It will begin with a conductor, director of

operations & personnel, staff support provided by Syracuse University and 100% sessional musicians

paid per service. Staff members, full-time musicians, full-time fellows, and part-time interns will be

added over time as resources permit. The following outline is merely a guesstimate. Development of the

Syracuse Philharmonic could happen more quickly or slowly depending on resources.

Year I (2011-2012)

Year one will consist of community forums to discuss the musical needs of Central and Upstate New

York, meetings with politicians and donors, and a handful of performances that unveil a new artistic

vision that is flexible, innovative, and responsive to Central and Upstate New York. An artistic planning

committee will be formed comprised of the artistic manager/music director/conductor and members from

the Center for Live Music in the 21st

Century.
