Philadelphia gets new boss

Philadelphia gets new boss

The orchestra has confirmed Ryan Fleur as CEO, replacing Mathias Tarnopolsky, who has gone to the New York Phil. Fleur has acted in an interim capacity since Tarnopolsky left in January.

Fleur has been part of the furniture for 13 years, as executive director of the Philadelphia Orchestra who negotiated its merger with the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. He was with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

His key priority will be to secure enough of Yannick’s time to justify his title as music director.
