A rush for the exits at the CBSO

A rush for the exits at the CBSO

The exciting new regime at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra has prompted quite a few formerly loyal staff members to contemplate a refreshing career change.

Among recent departures are the Orchestra Manager, Head of Learning & Engagement and chief Fundraiser.

Just in, or out, is the Head of Artistic Planning Anna Melville who was recruited from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Melville writes:
I will be leaving the CBSO on Thursday 25 July. After three and a half rewarding years leading the orchestra’s artistic planning, I am proud of all we have achieved together during my tenure and will now be looking for my next artistic endeavour.
