NRO's Executive Director Let Go

The National Repertory Orchestra's executive director since 1999 will not get a chance to see her ninth season through.

The NRO board announced Thursday that they will not renew Terese Kaptur's contract, citing an inability to mutually agree on an extension.

"Terese specializes in taking ailing organizations, especially symphonies, and breathing life into them, and getting them back on their feet," said NRO board president Reginald Gray.

"She's done an exceptional job for us."

"After nine years we wanted to take a look in the marketplace and see who could be the next executive director for our organization as it reaches a million-dollar-plus budget," Gray said.

Kaptur first served as the director of artistic operations for both the Breckenridge Music Institute and the National Repertory Orchestra.
