good riddance.
Congratulations, Anne. What an extraordinary career you have had, and what great work you have done for the DSO and the other orchestras for which you have worked. I have met no one with more enthusiasm for the artform and how important a symphony orchestra is, and transformative it can be, for a city and its inhabitants! Brava!
