Opus Orchestra is the professional orchestra for the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. They strive to bring exceptional orchestral performances to audiences across the region, enriching lives and contributing to vibrant arts communities. Established in 1991, Opus Orchestra performs regularly in Hamilton, Tauranga, and Rotorua, bringing live music to people throughout the region and providing stimulating performance opportunities for local musicians.
Opus Orchestra are looking for talented and passionate people to join their Board. They are particularly interested in recruiting trustees with the following experience or skills:
- Financial management
- Marketing and/or public relations
- Executive management
- Fundraising
Previous not-for-profit governance experience is desired but is not as important as a passion for this work and the desire to make a positive contribution. Opus are interested in hearing from people with a range of skills, not just those highlighted above. They can offer training and support where necessary.
Trustees commit to attending Board meetings six times a year (usually held by Zoom on Tuesday evenings) and an annual strategy day. Trustees are asked to contribute to one or more of our committees, and to attend concerts and events when possible.
Opus Orchestra is committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure they reflect the range of stakeholders they aim to engage with. Opus welcome applications from all suitably qualified people irrespective of age and background. They would particularly welcome applicants from Hamilton/Waikato.
