My career as a musician was short-lived. I started playing the snare drum in fifth grade, got a full set in sixth grade, and sold it after 8th grade. I guess the performing arts weren’t for me (my acting career ended when I stuck out my tongue in the middle of a church Christmas pageant). Luckily, I didn’t have parents who dreamed of watching me perform at The Music Center in Los Angeles, CA. It’s a non-profit that is “one of the largest and most highly regarded performing arts centers in the country, and the place to experience the most innovative and critically-acclaimed performing arts in the nation.” Los Angeles is considered by many “the creative capital of the world,” and The Music Center only helps cement that position.

In the Center

The Musice Center has four resident companies: The Center Theatre Group, the LA Opera, the LA Phil, and the LA Master Chorale. Additionally, they have a ton of educational opportunities, events & activities, and other programming. One cool thing that they have on their website is an Economic Impact Report. It doesn’t look like the most exciting reading, but it can give you more insight into the effect that The Music Center has on its community beyond the obvious cultural influence. If The Music Center looks interesting to you, visit their Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Grants Coordinator (it’s only posted on Idealist for some reason). Check it out.
