Matías Tarnopolsky will become president and CEO of the New York Philharmonic on Jan. 1 after six years heading the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The 54-year-old, who has American, British and Argentine citizenship, fills a void created when Gary Ginstling quit in July after just one season into the job.
Tarnopolsky was the New York Philharmonic’s vice president of artistic planning from December 2005 until August 2009, then spent nine years as executive director of Cal Performances at Berkeley until moving to Philadelphia in 2018.
