Interview with Ann Lewis Luppino

Ann Lewis-Luppino has been the President and CEO of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for the past three years, and assumed leadership there when the organization was experiencing a volatile financial position. Since then Ann has steered it towards a sustainable operation. For the CPO, audience numbers have grown dramatically including a record 27 sold out performances, partnerships with other arts organizations have expanded, a second performance venue has been added to the regular season and a new music festival has been introduced. Significantly, staff turn-over has been greatly reduced, musician morale and contract relations are positive, the transition to new Assistant and Choral Directors was smooth, and the CPO Chorus has become more professional. The creation of new children’s repertoire was a wonderful opportunity for artistic development, and the “Pillow Talk” program at many suburban libraries is a fine example of community engagement.
