After taking the temporary lead at the San Francisco Symphony more than a year ago, Matthew Spivey has officially taken over as the organization’s next chief executive officer., concluding a several month search.
As director of artistic planning from 2015 until 2019, Spivey worked with Music Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas in setting the orchestra’s artistic direction, among a litany of other duties. Tilson retired in 2020 after 25 years. “Our committee was impressed by Matt’s thoughtful leadership, integrity, strategic mindset, and incredible work ethic,” Geeslin said in a statement. “He’s also proven a deep personal commitment to furthering the organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion work, making it an integral part of the Symphony’s day-to-day activities. It is these invaluable qualities that make him such an incredible partner to me and the board and will help guide the Symphony into a bright future.
“After working with the organization over the last seven years, I am especially honored and excited to step into this new role to help build the next chapter in partnership with Esa-Pekka and our Collaborative Partners," Spivey said in a statement.
