Why does a symphony musician need a job description? To an outsider, tremendous talent, performance skills and experience are all that are required. It turns out that even those skill sets aren’t listed on most major American symphony orchestras’ job listings. Nor are there clearly defined expectations, criteria or standards for achieving tenure after a probationary period. There’s an unfortunate, long history of musicians being denied tenure with none of the above procedures in place.
