“Charles ‘Charlie’ Wade is the new VP of marketing for the Philadelphia Orchestra, filling a position that had been vacant for about a year,” writes Susan Elliott in Friday’s (4/10) Musical America (subscription required). “His predecessor was Janice Hay, now director of marketing & communications for the DePaul University School of Music. Wade has been on staff with Philadelphia since January, having started as a consultant last fall. He joined the Inghilleri Consulting Group (ICG) in July of 2019 when he left the Seattle Symphony after five years as senior VP for marketing and business operations. He remains based in Seattle, accumulating skymiles for his trips to Philadelphia. Prior to the Seattle Symphony, Wade was the longtime marketing VP for the Atlanta Symphony. He held a similar position with the Jacksonville (FL) Symphony before that. Active on the boards of a number of industry trade groups, Wade will continue to act as a consultant on occasion.”
