Formerly the Stamford Symphony, Orchestra Lumos was the outcome of a re-imagining and rebranding exercise to reflect a new vision for the Orchestra through which it will seek to engage with everyone in the Fairfield County community, with a particular emphasis on new and diverse audiences.

The Orchestra provides:

• High quality classical concerts under Music Director Michael Stern at its home The Palace Theatre in Stamford, with artists such as Joshua Bell, Midori, Alisa Weilerstein, Pinchas Zukerman, Gil Shaham, and Awadagin Pratt
• Ten Small Space (chamber music) presentations offered in churches, libraries, and nature centers from Greenwich to Bridgeport
• A comprehensive education and community engagement program established under Nicolas Gonzalez, the Orchestra’s first full time Director of Learning and Community Engagement who formerly served with the Chicago Symphony
•  A new pops season for 2023/24 including a Holiday Concert and the showing of Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, presented with the Orchestra playing the soundtrack live

The position of Director of Learning, Community Engagement, and Inclusion (Director) is responsible for the management, implementation, and evaluation of the education programs built by the previous Director. The Director will review and execute all education and community engagement programs, and is responsible for overseeing the equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts of the organization. The Director will recommend improvements to the programs and new strategies to reach new, diverse audiences relevant to the goals and mission of the Orchestra. The Director will ensure the mission of the education and community programs are executed at a high quality, with an eye for equity and relevance across its seven-town footprint. In 2022, Orchestra Lumos was awarded the Catalyst Incubator Fund grant from the League of American Orchestras to assist the organization in creating more equitable, diverse, and inclusive cultures. The Director will be responsible for the management and participation of this program.

On a regular basis, the Director will be in contact with the Orchestra’s entire constituency: community members, Board, musicians, and the public at large will be of paramount importance.
