“Utah Symphony and Utah Opera have chosen their new president and CEO, a veteran executive who has worked for orchestras across the nation,” writes Sean P. Means in Wednesday’s (6/24) Salt Lake Tribune (UT). “Steven Brosvik, who has been chief operations officer at the Nashville Symphony since 2015, will take the helm at Utah Symphony | Utah Opera starting Aug. 17…. He succeeds Patricia A. Richards, who has been interim president and CEO since last September…. Brosvik said in a statement that USUO—with its combination of Utah Symphony, Utah Opera, the Deer Valley Music Festival and educational programs—‘offers a wealth of opportunity to create richly artistic and innovative programs and partnerships to serve a growing and evolving community.’ Before his job in Nashville, Brosvik spent 10 years as general manager of the Houston Symphony. Before that, he was executive director of the San Antonio Symphony, and vice president and general manager of the Baltimore Symphony…. Thierry Fischer, the Utah Symphony’s conductor and music director, called Brosvik ‘the natural leader USUO needs at this time.’ One of Brosvik’s biggest tasks … will be helping select a successor to Fischer, who is leaving the symphony when his contract expires in August 2022.”
