About Internships at CCM
Internships at CCM are highly involved and revolve around focus projects as outlined at the onset of the internship. We offer real-world experience and strive to make each internship applicable to the student’s future goals.

About the Artistic Internship
The artistic intern will work closely with CCM Artistic and Operations staff on all elements related to artistic planning and concert production. This includes, but not limited to: maintaining music library inventory and recording archives, coordinating artist and rehearsal schedules, making arrangements for all concert needs (hall rentals, recording engineers, stage hands, etc.), and completing other special projects as needed.  Ideal candidates should have a passion for music, the ability to read scores, a basic knowledge of chamber repertoire & an understanding of concert production and protocol. 

Internship Details
The internship will begin in May or June and end in August. The intern is expected to work between 10-15 hours per week. 

Kemper Fellowship
CCM offers undergraduate students paid internship positions three times a year: fall, winter/spring and summer. This excellent opportunity allows students to gain hands-on, arts administration experience who might not otherwise be able to accept an internship because of their economic situation. CCM is one of six arts partners of the Kemper Fellows Program along with: Court Theatre, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Pegasus Players, The Ragdale Foundation and Silk Road Theatre Project. Kemper Fellows at all six organizations will have the opportunity to learn from each other through special Kemper Fellows Program activities.
