Ellie Falaris Ganelin

I get the word out about the Concert House and help run day-to-day operations. A typical day could include designing posters for upcoming concerts, putting together electronic and paper newsletters, taking ticket reservations, and actually managing concerts. It's great because I'm surrounded by live music all the time and have the opportunity to interact with some very talented artists, as well as members of the community on a daily basis.

I am also the Marketing and Public Relations representative for Saagara LLC (www.saagara.com). I promote this new company based in Ann Arbor that develops holistic health programs for the iPhone, as well as through a web-based subscription service. I enjoy working for Saagara because I get to wear many different hats: designing visual elements, writing content for Web site and iPhone apps, and doing PR work. We had a party celebrating the launch of our first iPhone app called Pranayama in December, which was a lot of fun. It's great to see cutting-edge ideas grow in this new business.

Karen Jenks

I am one of two operations assistants at the concert house; because KCH maintains such a small staff, I basically do anything that needs to be done.  On a typical day, I could go from speaking with artists about their bookings to changing the toilet paper - it's exciting, it's unpredictable, and I love it.  Not only am I exposed to all kinds of music on a daily basis, but I get to provide the personal touch that really makes the Concert House what it is.  KCH is a lynch pin in the Ann Arbor community - especially in the Kerrytown District - and I am so proud to be able to be a part of this organization.
