he Georgia Symphony Orchestra board of directors has announced that Taylor Rambo, GSO executive director, is stepping down from his role to take a leadership position within his family’s business. 

Susan Stensland, retired GSO executive director and current advisory board member, and GSO board member Mary Kay Howard, have been appointed to serve as interim co-executive directors, effective immediately.

“We appreciate Taylor’s leadership this past year, as we resumed in-person performances and our full youth education program—all while keeping the health and safety of our patrons, students, musicians, staff and volunteers as our top priority,” said Ronna Ruppelt, chair, GSO board of directors. “We wish him much success in his future endeavors.” 

The board’s search committee has begun the search process for Taylor’s successor.
