Ex-Dallas Chief Keeps on Moving

Keith Cerny, the current president and CEO of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, is set to leave his position in January.

As reported by Slippedisc, Cerny will be taking on an unnamed arts job outside of Texas.

Cerny has been with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra for eight years, and prior to that, he led the Dallas Opera from 2010 to 2017, and also had a stint as CEO of Calgary Opera for eight months.

This change comes as Cerny, 63, continues to navigate his career in the arts, with his next move awaiting announcement.

The departure of Keith Cerny from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra matters to listeners because it may bring new leadership and artistic vision to the orchestra in the coming year.
