Media chief quits San Francisco Symphony

After a tough year fronting for a disaffected music director and an obdurate board, Robin Freeman has quit the San Francisco Symphony, where she was chief marketing and communications officer.The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have created a new post for her as head of marketing.

Robin says: ‘While it will be hard to say goodbye to Grove Street after so many happy years at San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco Opera, I’m extremely excited to be joining the Leadership team and the Marketing, Communications & Visitor Experience teams at FAMSF. I consider it a profound luxury that our city is home to both the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor Museum, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in these iconic spaces.’
