Orchestra CEO quits over ‘grievous’ misjudgements

Peter Biggs resigned as CEO of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in April, officially ‘for a number of reasons, including health’.

He has since repaid the expenses. Read full story here.

Biggs, an advertising man, is a past chair of Arts Council New Zealand and a board member of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
