Student Board

HRO is one of the largest and most complicated organizations on campus as a student organization at Harvard, an official Harvard class (Music 10 and Music 107), and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

HRO values being an entirely student-run organization, but that also means that we have a lot of work to do! Responsibilities of HRO board members include program and poster design, social media and website management, ticket policy-making and distribution, stage management, accounting and budgeting, taxes, social event planning, community outreach event planning, international tour planning, and much more!

HRO Board consists of an elected Executive Board of 8 members who oversee a General Board of 10-20 members. Our musicians say that the more involved in HRO you are, the more you get out of and appreciate the experience.
