Berlin orchestra chief quits

The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin has announced the departure of CEO Thomas Schmidt-Ott at the end of the present season. He took on the job in lockdown in 2020 and is leaving at his own request.

Schmidt-Ott said: ”Standing room only’ was my declared goal when I took on the role in the first summer of the pandemic. Audience and program development, market penetration, and repertoire-specific
diversification thanks to the most renowned artists from various genres: in recent seasons, we were able to implement these strategies effectively. I am confident about the upcoming seasons.’
