Oregon Symphony Prez To Head Florida Opera Company

For the second time in three years, the Oregon Symphony is losing its president to another ensemble. William A. Ryberg, who is credited with reducing Oregon’s annual deficits and increasing donated income during his short time in Portland, will take over as head of Florida’s Palm Beach Opera this fall. It was three seasons ago that then-Oregon Symphony president Tony Woodcock resigned to accept the same position with the Minnesota Orchestra.
