Symphony Number One named Melissa Johnson Lander, a clarinet and chamber music GPD candidate studying with Anthony McGill, as its new executive director. Ms. Lander performed in Symphony Number One’s debut concert in May 2015, led the work which culminated in SNO’s performance at Light City, and most recently created Symphony Number One’s chamber music series, Beethoven’s Kitchen. Ms. Lander, formerly the group’s director of education, has been planning Symphony Number One’s 2016-17 Season, which opens September 23 with the music of Strauss.
