Allison Vulgamore
Leading the Philadelphia Orchestra Is Her Forte
Abstract
I had the opportunity to speak with Allison Vulgamore, President and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra, about her time at the orchestra, life before this role and what’s ahead. Allison came to Philadelphia from the Atlanta Symphony in early 2010. She has been a strong force in moving the orchestra onto firmer financial ground, which followed a year of Chapter 11 reorganization of the association. The resulting successful campaign, aptly titled the “Transformation Fund,” was used during the reorganization for fees associated with this endeavor. Allison has now turned to reinvigorating the current endowment, pushing forward to $100 million to it. This will allow an additional $5 million to be available annually to the orchestra for operational funds.
