The slow, sure rehab of Lord Tony Hall

The slow, sure rehab of Lord Tony Hall

The former CEO of the Royal Opera House and DG of the BBC today added a new post to his portfolio.

Lord Hall, 73 is also chair of the unhappy City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

The post The slow, sure rehab of Lord Tony Hall appeared first on Slippedisc.
