The San Francisco Symphony faces a critical moment in its history, struggling financially while trying to maintain its status as one of the top five orchestras in the U.S.
Hiring Esa-Pekka Salonen was described as a significant coup, but the challenges of the pandemic and a leadership shift led to his departure after just a few years.
Matthew Spivey, the symphony's CEO, highlighted that changes in arts organizations are necessary now more than ever, as they adapt after the pandemic.
Salonen's vision included integrating technology into music, but this progressive approach was deemed financially burdensome amid the symphony's ongoing struggles.
