Mark Pemberton has resigned as chief executive after 15 years.

He says: ‘ I will be leaving the ABO at the end of September. It will have been 15 years in July, and it’s time to pass the baton. I’ll be taking time time off to recharge the batteries, and then pursuing freelance opportunities.’

It’s an incredibly delicate time, with the BBC about to slash orchestra budgets.
