SPCO finds new president right down the street

October 07, 2008
by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • 10/7/08 •
The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra has just announced the appointment of a new president: Sarah Lutman, currently senior vice president of content and media at Minnesota Public Radio. Lutman, who will begin her duties at the SPCO in December, replaces Bruce Cappock; Cappock served as president for nearly a decade before retiring in July. In a press release, the SPCO quotes board chair Erwin Kelen calling Lutman "exactly the right person" to "take us to the next phase" in "achieving the goals set out in our strategic plan."

In other words, they're hoping she'll help raise a lot of money. Lutman's media experience should also be valuable as the world-class chamber orchestra seeks to raise its profile in a metro area where the word "orchestra" evokes (if anything) an image of Osmo Vänskä's owl-like grin.

Weekend What's What: The pre-holiday spirit

By l'etoile magazine

As we delve into November, we bid adieu to any possibilities of running around sans jacket—and we've come to terms with that (the first real snowfall, however, is another matter entirely). And what better to turn our focus to than the holidays? Thanksgiving is right around the corner, followed directly by the gifty season, and the Twin Cities artsy types seem to be easing us slowly but surely into the spirit of, um, buying their cool stuff. This weekend, hit up the Northrup King Building to peruse and purchase local art and related wares during Art Attack; check out The Affair at the Convention Center for festive tastings of chocolate, wine and the like; or stop into local boutiques such as Drama and Cliche to catch deals on fancy frocks for all the swanky parties that approach.MORE »
