Utah hires new boss from shutdown Nashville
mainTen days ago, we reported that Nashville had shut down its symphony for the next year, at least.
First to jump is the Nashville Symphony’s COO Steven Brosvik.
He has just been named prez/ceo of Utah Symphony and Utah Opera.
Brosvik was previousy COO at Houston Symphony.
Didn’t Utah bother to examine what happened when he was ED of the San Antonio Symphony?
More than likely he’s got a lifetime membership in the “Catherine French Club” (who more than likely did the search for Utah) so laying waste to an orchestra in one’s past is immaterial.
I can’t remember who did the search but I’m sure it was not Ms. French.
Isaacson Miller
It was Isaacson Miller who did the search
Cathy did not run this search.
Catherine French did not do the search. Nice try, though.
That job has been advertised for many months, long before the pandemic started. Theoretically at least, he may have applied a while ago without it specifically having to do with the Nashville shutdown. We wish him well.
Further, he was almost certainly headhunted as a candidate, and did not apply for another position in order to “jump” ship.
The royal “we”?
Steve Brosvik has been a wonderful presence in Nashville. He will be sorely missed, and congratulations to the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming Steve and his family to Utah!
Where was he working 2005-2015? LinkedIn shows nothing…..how can that be?
After San Antonio, he was with Houston Symphony, then Nashville Symphony
He was General Manager at the Houston Symphony 2005-15
