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.
