In a staggering admission of senior ineptitude, English National Orchestra has hired a headhunter to find its next music director.
Choosing a chief conductor usually arises from discussions between the artistic director, the board and the musicians. In this case there appear to be no discussions.
The headhunter is Helen Sprott, former CEO of the ailing Philharmonia Orchestra and, before that, head of music at Arts Council England. Do contact her for auditions.
Her company, AEM, has flagged up the job on its website.
