Bach Collegium San Diego (BCSD) seeks an Annual Giving & Membership Manager to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward annual giving prospects, and to write and manage grants, to secure philanthropic support for the organization. This role will contribute to increased operating income for the organization, share the organization’s mission and impact, and strengthen long-term relationships with audience members and supporters.

Bach Collegium San Diego was founded by Artistic Director Ruben Valenzuela in 2003 to bring dynamic programming and performances with historical considerations to performance practice. Over the last 22 seasons, BCSD has garnered national and international recognition through its exemplary talent, making it one of the most distinguished early music ensembles in the country today. In 2021, the ensemble gained national attention through its El Mesías: Messiah for a New World project, which commissioned an original Spanish libretto of Handel’s oratorio, set to be recorded this fall. BCSD’s first commercial album has been submitted for GRAMMY consideration. BCSD made its European debut at Bachfest in Leipzig, Germany in June 2024, and also performed at other Bach sites in the German state of Thuringia.

"Thank you for your interest in the Annual Giving & Membership position.
