The President of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Stanley Romanstein, has resigned, mentioning that his leadership would be an “impediment” to reaching a new labor agreement with the symphony’s locked out musicians. The ASO has already cancelled part of the 2014-15 season due to the labor dispute.
According to a press release, the board has appointed Terry Neal, a Board member and a retired executive of The Coca-Cola Company, to serve as president of the ASO on an interim basis. Neal will manage the day-to-day operations of the ASO until a permanent replacement can be found.
