At the end of October, Andrew Brown will be leaving his role as the President & CEO of Pacific Chorale to take on the position of CEO at the Pasadena Symphony, starting from November 13, 2023.

We're immensely proud of what Pacific Chorale has achieved during Andy's nearly five years of leadership. We're confident that the Chorale is in a strong position for continued success in the future. Under the exceptional leadership of Robert Istad, the Chorale has never sounded better, and we are committed to maintaining our artistic progress.

As Andy's departure on October 27 approaches, he will work closely with Board Chair Craig Springer, Rob Istad, our staff, and the Board to create an interim transition plan, ensuring a smooth transition. Additionally, the Board is in the process of forming a Search Committee to initiate the thoughtful and diligent process of selecting a search firm to hire a new President & CEO.

We've truly enjoyed having Andy as part of our team and wish him the best of luck in his new role!
