A black hole opens in Canada’s arts
NewsThree years ago, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa hired Arna Einarsdóttir as managing director of its orchestra. Arna, 50, came from the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra where she had done a pretty good job.
We now understand that she’s no longer there,
Her name is stll listed on its website, but we hear she has fled to Sweden, to a mid-level job at the Gothenburg Symphony.
What’s going on? No-one’s saying.
But NAC chiefs are complaining privately of a vastly increased workload.
UPDATE: We hear that Arna’s deputy has also left. Marc Stevens has joined Calgary Philharmonic as its CEO. Anyone left in Ottawa to turn out the lights?
