Arvind Manocha has been selected as the new President and CEO of the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts according to a release sent to WolfTrap supporters late Wednesday morning.
Manocha, currently the Chief Operating Officer of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, has overseen the Hollywood Bowl, as well as all marketing, production, community affairs, and jazz/pop/world/rock programming for the Philharmonic at the Bowl and at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Since he took on management of the historic facility, the Hollywood Bowl has been named “Best Outdoor Amphitheatre in the U.S.” eight years in a row by Pollstar magazine (2004-2011).
“Wolf Trap is a paragon of our business,” stated Manocha. “It is a great honor to have been selected to lead this prestigious and innovative arts and education organization. I look forward to working with the Board and the entire Wolf Trap team to continue to build on their strong record of success.”
Manocha is set to assume his duties at the Foundation on January 2, 2013.
