Just in: Bosses walk out on London Baroque
mainpress release:
The London Festival of Baroque Music announced today that Lindsay Kemp will be stepping down from his position as Artistic Director at the end of the 2017 Festival, in May. Festival Manager Lucy Bending has announced that she will depart at the same time.
Both have been in post for a decade. No reason given.
I hope that doesn’t mean the Festival is likely to shut down. I gather there have been money worries ever since Lufthansa withdrew its sponsorship several years ago.
