The Philadelphia Orchestra are putting a brave face on the almost-instant departure of CEO Matias Tarnopolsky to head up the New York Philharmonic. Tarnopolsky leaves in less than a month, no time at all to find a replacement.
Philly board sources say that have given themselves three-four months to make an appointment and there is already a very short list of people they want to interview. That’s a good start.
But the move has left Philly and its conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin looking like Second Hand Rose, easily dumped when the Big Apple flashes its cash. That’s not good for image or morale.
The next Philly chief will have a mountain to climb.
