In the music industry, an artistic director refers to someone who directs a

Music Director," and carries the corresponding responsibilities of directing (conducting or rehearsing) the ensemble, programming repertoire and performers, and (often) cultivating an artistic vision and often a long-term artistic strategy for the organization.[1] The title and corresponding position is understood to be the highest level of artistic or musical decision-making inside the hierarchy of the organization, often working with an administrative counterpart such as an Executive Director
, managing director, or CEO.

Some organizations, including some large orchestras, opt to have a primary conductor who reports to an artistic director in charge of long-range planning and artistic decision-making outside of that directly related to the rehearsal and performance process.[1]
