Job description

Reporting to: Managing Artistic Director

Chamber Music Maryland is seeking a Director of Development who will be a strategic, relationship-driven leader who will expand the organization’s fundraising efforts. Reporting to the Managing Artistic Director, the Director will design and execute a comprehensive development program encompassing individual giving, major gifts, institutional support, sponsorships, special events, and donor stewardship. The successful candidate will be an engaging ambassador and persuasive advocate for Chamber Music Maryland’s mission, with the creativity and initiative to cultivate meaningful relationships, broaden the organization’s base of support, and build the philanthropic resources necessary to advance its artistic and community impact.

While currently structured as a part-time position, the role offers meaningful potential to grow into a full-time opportunity as Chamber Music Maryland’s fundraising program and contributed revenue expand. A hybrid work arrangement is possible, with regular in-person presence expected in Columbia, Maryland, for meetings, donor engagement, concerts, fundraising events, and other organizational activities.

Founded in 1972 as the Candlelight Concert Society, Chamber Music Maryland is a nationally recognized concert presenter and arts education provider dedicated to bringing exceptional chamber music to audiences throughout Maryland and the greater Washington–Baltimore region. Now entering its 54th season, the organization presents distinguished national and international ensembles and soloists while also championing emerging artists, including winners of leading international competitions.

\"Beyond the qualifications, what I am truly looking for is inspiration and a willingness to work hard to get great results. It takes real effort to deliver such high quality programs season after season, but in all these years it has never once felt like ordinary work to me. I am looking for someone who knows that feeling, or who is excited to discover it together.\"
