Internships

The MSO provides non-paid internships to college students seeking a working knowledge of a non-profit orchestra, including Operations, Marketing, Development, Library, and General Administration. An MSO internship greatly expands a student's concept of the business model and applies it in a real-world setting. Interns work with individual staff members, becoming familiar with the various areas of responsibility and applying this knowledge in the daily operations of the orchestra.

Students must be currently enrolled in a recognized college with a major in Music or Business Administration and a 3.0 GPA in their major field. Interns must have access to reliable transportation, possess excellent oral and written communication skills, be able to lift 30 lbs. and be available for occasional weekend and evening work.

Interested students should submit a resume and cover letter via email to , or by mail to Sharon Ahrens, MSO Orchestra Manager, 30 W. Washington St., Hagerstown MD 21740, or via fax at 301 797 2314. Please include your desired internship period ( i.e. summer 2008) and available work dates.
