Philanthropy Manager

About Garsington Opera

Located in the stunning Chiltern hills on the Getty family estate, Garsington Opera is a prestigious summer festival with a highly respected international reputation. With performances in June and July we produce four productions each year, in partnership with our two resident orchestras The English Concert and Philharmonia. Garsington is now building its own Arts Hub studios to provide much needed rehearsal facilities, production workshops, café, offices and a home for its acclaimed community programme and world-class Young Artists scheme.

This is a great opportunity to join an innovative company at a time of expansion.
