The Royal Scottish National Orchestra has made three significant additions to its management.
Manus Carey, currently head of creative programming at Manchester Camerata, will join the national orchestra as executive producer, and takes up his role on August 1 with responsibility for creative partnerships and artistic planning. His role will be to work with the chief executive and the music director "to realise the vision for the development of the RSNO's artistic and creative partnerships and programmes and to develop its artistic policy".
Amy Glover is joining the RSNO from the BBC as artistic planning manager, and will be in post from 17 June. She will report to Carey and "research and advise on the programming of repertoire, liaising and contracting with artists and their agents, and planning rehearsal, concert and activity schedules in partnership with the presentation and operations department".
Nick Lander, RSNO concerts and tours manager since March 2008, has been promoted to a new position of director of presentation and operations, and will be responsible for the operation of the orchestra's new home next to the Buchanan Galleries, and the "overall design, management, co-ordination and delivery of all orchestra and ensemble concerts, tours, recordings and broadcasts".
All the posts have been established in preparation of its move to its purpose-built facility in Glasgow's city centre.
Mr Carey said: "I am looking forward to working closely with this fantastic orchestra and music director Peter Oundjian. Glasgow is such a vibrant city in which to be based and I am excited about contributing to the orchestra's artistic development within the city as well as throughout Scotland and further afield."
Michael Elliott, chief executive, added: "We are fortunate in attracting such proven talent as Manus and Amy to the RSNO. Both have excellent academic, performance and professional qualifications and experience in music, and both have built an exceptional creative and management reputation.
"Together with Nick's appointment, their experience will prove invaluable to the organisation going forward, as we prepare to move into our new home and extend our reach, creative partnerships, artistic ambitions, and engagement with audiences and communities."
