It's hard to imagine the Naples Philharmonic without Myra Janco Daniels, its founder, longtime CEO and fundraiser extraordinaire.
Daniels launched the Phil in 1982 and built it into a $127 million complex that includes a resident orchestra, a performing-arts hall and art museum. Daniels is retiring this summer.
This season's entertainment has all the glitz and glamour that Daniels is known to attract to the Phil, including great jazz vocalists Tony Bennett, Liza Minelli and Diana Krall. Speakers will include Larry King, Barbara Walters and Bill O'Reilly. Madama Butterfly and Carmen will draw opera fans. Broadway shows will feature Memphis and a new production of Les Miserables.
Her replacement, Kathleen van Bergen, will become CEO on Sept. 1. She's currently the artistic and executive director of the Schubert Club, a cultural institution in St. Paul, Minn. She'll have big shoes to fill.
