He’s like the Energizer bunny…just keeps ticking. You gotta love the guy!!
Is this a Guinness Record for an Orchestra Manager? What does Dave do in his spare-time? How many more will he add by the time he’s 90?
How can one elderly man do so much? He can’t, but gets others to do it do he can grab all the credit
he looks ill. terrible when a person is 80.
they must still go to work.
65 is enough
What the Reno Phil needs is a new Music Director. Not to mention a new hall. The new MD must be a tireless advocate for a new hall. The orchestra and the community deserve it.
I have always thought it strange that Reno – a city with a metro area population of less than 500,000 – is supporting both the Philharmonic and the Reno Chamber Orchestra. Lord knows it’s hard enough supporting one orchestra these days!
NOT a strong list of past employment. Probably an enemy of union employed musicians given his past positions, he should hang up his spurs
There’s only one David Hyslop. He has helped countless organizations, and his legacy is the survival of these orchestras. And, he’s a great guy!
