DSO President Anne Parsons to retire in fall of 2022
Anne Parsons, the longtime president and chief executive officer of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra who helped push the orchestra onto the national stage while steering it through a series of challenges, plans to retire in the fall of 2022, the DSO announced Wednesday.
Parsons has been at the DSO s helm since 2004, leading the organization through economic downturns and a bitter musicians strike, all while boosting its programming, audiences and financial outlook.

Anne Parsons, the longest-serving leader in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s modern era, will step down next year, the organization announced Wednesday.
Parsons, the DSO’s president and CEO, plans to retire by November 2022, when she’ll mark her 65th birthday.
Parsons faced a financially embattled DSO when she took the reins in 2004, followed by grueling labor strife several years later. She ultimately helped guide the organization to fiscal stability, along with global acclaim for a series of pioneering digital initiatives.
Parsons also oversaw the appointment of two music directors, Leonard Slatkin in 2007 and Jader Bignamini in 2020.
The DSO has formed a committee to recruit her replacement, spearheaded by board chairman Mark Davidoff and director emeritus Chacona Baugh with assistance from the executive search firm Isaacson, Miller.
