Toronto Mendelssohn Choir (TMC) Board Chair Erin Finlay announced today that respected arts administrator Anna Kajtar has been named as Executive Director of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir; she assumes the position from Cynthia Hawkins who recently retired from the Choir after 15 years.
Anna brings to the TMC a lifelong love of choral music and 15 years experience managing arts organizations and producing theatrical works, contemporary dance, and classical music concerts. She was most recently Producer and General Manager of Groundling Theatre.
