Toronto chairs steps down after 8-year turnaround

Toronto chairs steps down after 8-year turnaround

Catherine Beck has decided to draw a line under her vigorous eight-year chairmanship of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

CEO Mark Williams said: ‘Cathy’s leadership has been remarkable. During her tenure, the Board hired our extraordinary Music Director, Gustavo Gimeno, navigated a global pandemic, eliminated a 40-year-old accumulated deficit, and made stunning returns to Massey Hall and Carnegie Hall. The TSO has grown immensely under Cathy’s guidance.’

Vice-chair Tom Smee steps up.
