Las Vegas Philharmonic (LVP) has appointed Tim Robinson to serve as interim Executive Director.

Robinson will lend his production, entertainment and operations expertise while working alongside Board Chair, Jeri Crawford, the staff, musicians and trustees to provide interim leadership and support while the organization conducts a national executive search for a permanent Executive Director.

The LVP has retained HC Smith Limited to assist with an extensive national search to recruit an innovative and highly qualified arts administrator to join and lead the organization.

For more than 25 years Robinson has worked in executive and administrative roles across a wide range of live performing arts organizations including Cirque du Soleil, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts (Las Vegas), Blue Man Group (New York), Paul Taylor Dance Company (New York), The Joffrey Ballet (Chicago), Ford Center for the Performing Arts/Oriental Theater (Chicago) and Grant Park Music Festival (Chicago).

As a freelance Producer, he worked on both the 2013 and 2018 Star Spangled Spectacular, July 4th Concert and Fireworks events with the Las Vegas Philharmonic, in addition to multiple years with the New Las Vegas Marathon, and for private corporate events on the Strip.

Robinson has also worked as a consultant for several non-profit performing arts organizations on planning, strategy research and capacity-building projects.

He is a graduate of the University of Evansville (Indiana) and pursued his Masters in classical guitar performance at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (Ohio).
