The San Francisco Symphony has snatched Houston’s CEO to be its next chief.

Mark Hanson, 43, starts in September, it was announced late on Friday.

It’s a good call for San Fran, but Houston, who recently lostĀ Ā longtime Director of Artistic Planning Aurelie Desmarais, is looking a bit shaky.

    Congratulations to Mr. Hanson!

    Norman, when you say that they “lost” Aurelie Desmarais, has she moved to another job or retired?
