Conductor Jorge Mester Loses Another Gig, This Time in Florida

“Jorge Mester’s contract as music director with the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra will end at the completion of the 2011-12 season.” Last May, Mester left the same job (under disputed circumstances) at the Pasadena Symphony, which nearly went bankrupt in 2009; he also holds the music directorship of the Louisville Orchestra, which declared bankruptcy earlier this month.
