The Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra (WHCO) is entering its third season! WHCO provides free classical music concerts for our uptown neighbors, including Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood.
A small, but committed team, we are seeking a publicist to help get the word out about what we do, and why we do it. This opportunity includes pitching and generating new and shareable forms of media, but also connecting with other nonprofit, media, and performing art organizations in the city to increase awareness of the orchestra and our mission.
Working closely with the Executive Director, this would be an excellent opportunity for someone interested marketing, nonprofits management, or development.

Mission Statement
Empowering the uptown musician community to engage the people of Washington Heights and neighboring communities through exemplary performances and innovative educational programming.
Description
The Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra (WHCO) is a musician-led collective on a mission to engage and empower the people of Washington Heights and neighboring communities through exemplary performances and innovative educational programming.
With our "Made in Washington Heights" ethos, our local community is the heartbeat of everything we do. In the past eight years WHCO has produced over 73 outstanding public concerts - classical music, jazz, chamber music, and orchestra concerts - all free or at low cost to our community. As a collective of outstanding, committed musicians who make uptown our home, we aim to create unique experiences that celebrate the community and highlight its many amazing voices. WHCO sets the standard for fresh and exciting programming as old and new music are presented in meaningful and exciting dialogue; concerts feature living composers - often NYC and uptown residents - alongside major traditional works.
Among other outlets, WHCO has been listed in the NY Times’ "Today," TimeOut NY's "Critics Pick," WQXR Radio, and Gothamist's "Best Things to Do in NYC this Weekend." We continually seek community input, asking how WHCO can realize our mission of service and foster connections with local businesses, government, schools, and community organizations.
