Regime change at the New York Philharmonic

As of today as of today Gary Ginstling is President & CEO of the orchestra. Deborah Borda has retired. Gustavo Dudamel, having walked out on his job at Paris Opéra, will have to readjust his New York plans without the counsel of his longterm working partner. The coming months should be interesting.

Ginstling, 56, arrives from the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, DC.

He says: ‘This orchestra’s past is illustrious, our recent history groundbreaking, and our dreams for the future boundless. And while the world around us is changing, one thing holds truer than ever: our belief in the power of the arts to uplift. Our potential to forge close connections among our musicians, audiences, and neighbors is limitless. It is an honor to become President & CEO of the NY Phil at this pivotal moment.’
