Intern with the Arizona Philharmonic next semester!

Arizona Philharmonic is a professional regional orchestra based in Prescott, AZ. AZ Phil is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to embody artistic excellence and inspire the growth of symphonic music through diversity in genre, programming, collaboration, audiences, and musicians. AZ Phil is excited to offer an internship opportunity to students at NAU for 1, 2, and 3 credit enrollment. Although this is a non-paid internship, students will be offered gas reimbursement for traveling to in-person events.

NAU students have the opportunity to choose from one of three tracks to complete an internship with AZ Phil. Each option is available for 1, 2, or 3 credit hour enrollment. Students will work with the Executive Director for all internship responsibilities, but will interact with other staff and volunteers.

Up to three internship positions are available for the fall semester. Students have the option to combine a variety of roles to create an internship that  is most suitable for their desired experience and skill set development.

*Note that students from both musical and non-musical backgrounds are encouraged to apply for this internship program.
