Canada snatches Icelandic orchestra chief
mainThe National Arts Centre in Ottawa has named Arna Einarsdóttir as its new managing director.
Arna, 50, has been head of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra for the past five years.
She has turned a a deficit into profit and signed Yan Pascal Tortelier as chief conductor and Osmo Vänskä as principal guest.
She’ll move to Ottawa in spring 2019.
Same latitude, give or take an ice floe.
(NB: I gave up geography at 12).
