Ptack Becomes PMF’s First President and CEO

The Peninsula Music Festival (PMF, musicfestival.com) has announced plans for an organizational structuring of the 69-year-old institution following an internal review to update its governance model. 

As a result, Christoph Ptack, PMF’s executive director since November 2018, will become its first president and CEO; and the officer seats of president and vice president will be recognized as chair and vice chair. PMF is also continuing its PlayON! campaign to try to provide each member of its 2021 Festival Orchestra with a stipend of compassion as they work through continuing financial hardships resulting from the pandemic.
