On Wednesday evening, with a mix of gratitude, admiration, and perhaps a bit of sadness, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra family gathered to recognize and celebrate the exceptional leadership of Ross Lanzafame, Esq., who concluded his term as RPO Chair of the Board at the end of our magnificent centennial season. Over the past six years, Ross has exemplified true leadership, guiding us with integrity, passion, and an unwavering commitment to our mission. Under his guidance, our organization has navigated numerous challenges, embraced new opportunities, and achieved remarkable milestones. While Ross’s term as Chair of the Board has ended, we know his passion for our mission to serve the Greater Rochester region and his belief in our organization remain strong. We are fortunate that Ross will continue to be a part of our the RPO Board, and we know we are in great hands with Diana Clarkson, Esq., as her term as RPO Chair of the Board begins. With such dedicated volunteer leaders, the future is very bright for our community orchestra. We look forward to what lies ahead with great anticipation!
