“Sean Chen has had a special relationship with t “Sean Chen has had a special relationship with the New West Symphony since he was named a Discovery Artist as a teenager in 2002. Audiences relish his virtuosity and sparking personality.

We are pleased to announce the Association of Cali We are pleased to announce the Association of California Symphony Orchestras has awarded its prestigious Executive Leadership Award for 2023 to CEO Natalia Staneva. The ACSO Executive Leadership Award recognizes the chief executive officer, executive director, or managing director of an ACSO member organization for extraordinary leadership in the classical music field by advancing the missions of their organization, creating a vision that inspires others, creating strategies to overcome challenges, and uniting a team to meet the demands of the changing world of classical music. ACSO Executive Director Sarah Weber said, “We created this award because oftentimes the work of an orchestra CEO is the last to be recognized. In our field, CEOs spend their time supporting their board members, mentoring and coaching their staff, shining the spotlight on their music director, or teaching aspiring young musicians. They lift up everyone before themselves. But they truly provide the strong backbone and influence the internal culture of any successful orchestra. Natalia certainly does for New West Symphony, and she is truly deserving of this recognition.” “I have personally witnessed and benefited from Natalia’s inspiring, visionary, and tireless efforts as CEO,” says Music Director Michael Christie. “Her unequaled commitment to continually elevate every aspect of what the Symphony does, from successfully pulling the organization through the pandemic to being the driving force behind our recent inaugural outdoor summer music festival - she is truly a force of nature to be reckoned with and we are incredibly fortunate to have her at the helm.” Congratulations, Natalia!
