Looking For The Perfect Fit In Philly

The Philadelphia Orchestra needs a new president, and it’s willing to go outside the industry to find one. “A job description being circulated by the orchestra and its search firm outlines a job that offers expanded authority, since the new president will also be the chief executive officer, a title currently held by the chairman of the board.” Orchestra officials say that they are willing to boost the job’s salary as well – former president Joe Kluger earned $285,000 per year, well below the income earned by his colleagues at other major American orchestras.
