Ryan MacPherson

As a passionate and accomplished figure in the world of music and philanthropy, I currently serve as the Director of Development at the Charlottesville Symphony. My international operatic career, which spanned over two decades, has been the driving force behind my success and love for music and the arts. In 2016, I made the seamless transition from the stage to philanthropy, using my extensive experience and connections to make a meaningful impact in the non-profit sector.

As a dedicated advocate for the arts, I have been instrumental in securing vital funding and support for the Charlottesville Symphony, ensuring its continued growth and prominence in the community. My strategic thinking and data-driven decision-making have played a crucial role in the organization's ability to engage with diverse audiences and foster a love for music among people of all ages.
