Just in: Rotterdam Phil replaces its management
OrchestrasA po-faced press release from the Dutch orchestra:
We are pleased to announce that our new management will take office on August 19, 2024. From that date, Rob Streevelaar is General Manager and Piet van Gennip is Business Director. Will you welcome them with us? Both are no strangers to the sector: Streevelaar made his mark with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra|Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and recently Philzuid. Van Gennip has been director of Het Balletorkest in recent years.
The pair replace George Wiegel as Managing Director and Jaap Lampe as Business Director. There is no word of thanks or farewell.
No idea what’s happened to them.
George Wiegel is retiring and Jaap Lampe is filling the position Ad Interim
Meh, too simple. Maybe they sent photos of “you-know-what” to someone
A story goes round about a picture sent to a female second violin player of a trombone in its 3rd position.
sorry… you are looking for gossip, where there isn’t any. George Wiegels retirement has been coming a long time, and was postponed by request of the board. The business director position became vacant at the beginning of 2024, after a job switch of Jeroen van Breugel. Jaap Lampe who served this position previously stepped in while the job application was running… nothing to see here, let’s move on…
That management eject button should be universally available.
If you have ‘no idea what’s happened to them’, you can start with asking them. It’s called journalism.
Les Siècles should be doing the same.
