Julie Hardin, executive director

Executive Director, InConcert Sierra

“Bringing a little brown seed of an idea to a gorgeous flower in full bloom.”

“InConcert Sierra stimulates, educates, and brings together community with intimate quality musical experiences that leave the audience with a smile and the desire to seek outlive performance, which is integral to our society.”

~Julie Hardin

Growing up in Southern California, Julie had inspiring parents and grandparents who took her to Los Angeles to experience cultural events.  She recalls her parents having season tickets to the Ahmanson Theatre and treasures the memories of dressing up and going to the theatre.  Her grandparents also dressed her in fine clothes and took her to cultural events like the symphony, the ballet, and the horse races!

Julie feels privileged to have experiences with her family that were days filled with magic, music, bright lights, and emotion.  Little did she know she would grow up to be part of an organization that brings that same magic to a community who embraces the arts.

A diverse background in wholesale, restaurant, and non-profit management has brought Julie a wealth of experience that she now brings to InConcert Sierra.

Additionally, Julie’s education in communications, marketing and public relations has helped her greatly with many aspects of being the executive director for InConcert Sierra.  Coincidentally, she is married to InConcert Sierra’s artistic director who brought her into the world of classical music.

Julie is an alto in the Sierra Master Chorale and loves to be one of those behind the scenes…bringing a little brown seed of an idea to a gorgeous flower in bloom. Julie is very proud of InConcert Sierra, which is brilliantly in full bloom.
