Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Monday, April 26, 2021
BALTIMORE (AP) - Peter Kjome will step down as president and CEO of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra when his contract ends in January, 2022, the organization said Monday.
Kjome’s departure, combined with the organization’s search for a music director to replace Marin Alsop, will represent a complete turnover in the orchestra’s leadership, The Baltimore Sun reported.
The BSO staff was notified Monday morning of Kjome’s plans to depart, a spokeswoman for the organization said. After his contract expires, he will serve as a consultant to ensure a smooth transition.
