“The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra has hired a veteran leader in the arts community, including Dallas, as its interim president,” writes Mitch Mitchell in Saturday’s (6/17) Star-Telegram (Fort Worth, TX). “David Hyslop, who most recently served as the interim managing director of Dallas Summer Musicals, will begin his new job July 24…. He will stay on until a permanent president is appointed. The search for a new president is expected to take less than a year. Hyslop will replace Amy Adkins, who is leaving the FWSO after six years as its president. She is leaving in July to take a job as president of All Saints Health Foundation…. Hyslop has served as CEO for … the Oregon Symphony from 1971-78; the St. Louis Symphony from 1978-91; and the Minnesota Orchestra from 1991-2003. Since retiring from the Minnesota job, Hyslop has worked as a consultant to arts groups around the country, and has served as interim CEO of the Louisville Orchestra and Dallas Symphony Orchestra.”
