Issac Thompson to leave Oregon Symphony to become President and CEO of Minnesota Orchestra

Issac Thompson will be leaving the Oregon Symphony to take over the top administrative position at the Minnesota Orchetra. This was announced in the Minneapolis Star Tribune yesterday. It has been confirmed by the Minnesota Orchestra, Minnesota Public Radio, and the Oregon Symphony. It will be a homecoming for Thompson, who was raised in the Twin Cities, but it is a blow to the Oregon Symphony, which only had Thompson as its leader for two years.
