musiConnects seeks a violist to join its team of dedicated Resident Musicians, who perform in a community-focused chamber music series and teach in an innovative educational residency. This position begins on September 1, 2020.
Boston-based musiConnects, founded in 2007, exists to “model and teach self-expression, peer leadership and community development through the transformative power of chamber music.” musiConnects encompasses two thriving educational initiatives -- the Residency Program, offered in partnership with schools & community centers in Mattapan; and the Roslindale Community Program, based at the musiConnects studio in Roslindale Village -- and a full season of accessible live performances featuring our staff of Resident Musicians. Our committed Resident Musicians teach private lessons and chamber music in our Mattapan Residency Program. This program emphasizes the development of extra-musical skills such as teamwork, confidence, collaborative problem-solving, and community building, while simultaneously centering musical accomplishment and joy in progress. Some Resident Musicians take on additional private teaching in our affordable, tuition-based Roslindale Community Program. The Resident Musician staff - in rotating configurations - prepare chamber music repertoire at a high level, which is then presented in free, accessible live performances throughout the neighborhoods served, including Mattapan, Roslindale, Dorchester, and surrounding areas. musiConnects performances feature various configurations of personnel throughout the season.
