Retired SF Symphony Exec Peter Pastreich To Head Philharmonia Baroque

In his two decades as the Symphony’s executive director, the 71-year-old Pastreich “shepherded an extensive expansion of the orchestra’s budget and endowment, oversaw the construction of Davies Symphony Hall, … and helped establish the Symphony as one of the nation’s leading orchestras.” His and the Philharmonia Baroque board’s goal “is to increase our presence in other markets.”
