Breaking: NY Philharmonic chief quits

In a sudden and truly shocking development, Gary Ginstling has resigned after exactly a year as president and CEO of the New York Philharmmonic Orchestra.

He said: ‘The New York Philharmonic is an extraordinary institution, and it has been an honor to be a part of it. However, it has become clear to me that the institution needs a different type of leadership, and I have tendered my resignation. I wish incoming Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, the Musicians, the Board, the staff, and everyone associated with this organization all the best for its future.’

Deborah Borda will return as Executive Advisor to the board while they select a successor.
