Orchestra Librarian

The Chamber Orchestra of the Springs (COS) is seeking an experienced part-time orchestra librarian with an interest in contemporary and infrequently performed music.

Depending upon the hiring schedule, the librarian will have 2-4 weeks of overlap with our outgoing librarian, during which time they can assess the status of the Chamber Orchestra's season and special projects.

The orchestra librarian is fundamentally responsible for overseeing the acquisition, rental, distribution, and return of all music for Chamber Orchestra-produced performances, and for maintaining and curating the Chamber Orchestra's library of scores and parts.

To this end, their responsibilities include:

• Securing necessary production and rebroadcast rights for COSproduced performances.
• Coordinating with the Music Director and Executive Director to obtain budget estimates for proposed upcoming works.
• Coordinating the timely delivery and return of all music with publishers.
• Ensuring parts have accurate and adequate rehearsal letters and measure numbering.
• Assembling music folders and copying bowings into parts, as needed.
• Maintaining the COS online music library database.
• Completing annual ASCAP/BMI concert repertoire reporting.

The Chamber Orchestra performs 6 regular season concert cycles annually, and an additional 2-4 special projects each season - collaborations and co-productions that frequently mimic a regular season concert cycle.

As such, the estimated workload for this position varies, both by year and by month, with most work done on flexible, work-from-home hours.
