It is being claimed that Rachel Hagemeier, aged 25, is about to become the youngest CEO and president of an American symphony orchestra.

Rachel, a bassoonist, is taking over at the Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio next month.

Founded in 1937, the orchestra’s music director since 1980 has been Gerhardt Zimmermann. He’s leaving soon, and the concert hall has been named after him.

UPDATE: Rachel was born in July 1997, according to public records.
