Primo Music Association is searching for an Artistic Director for Centric MusicFest, Lethbridge’s Summer art-music festival. Held in early July, Centric features high-calibre performances of classical music from the Western tradition as well as art-music from other cultures. Centric builds community through music making, providing performance opportunities that empower emerging and established musicians and celebrating inclusivity in the arts by ensuring diverse voices and styles are heard, valued, and shared. We promote a mix of local and visiting talent performing in both traditional concert venues as well as innovative settings to connect with a broad audience. We acknowledge the work this involves with an honorarium that has varied from year to year, depending on our financial success.

The Artistic Director is responsible for artistic programming, including prospecting and hiring artists, determining rehearsal time, and communicating programming needs to the board of directors. Consistent communication with the board is necessary as festival planning for Centric MusicFest is dependent upon sponsorships, grants, and fundraising. The ability to engage a variety of professional local and visiting musicians is a priority. The Artistic Director position is a three-year term that can be renewed once. Interested parties are invited to submit their CVs to primomusicab@gmail.com by September 30, 2026.
