BBC DG Tim Davie is entrusting more and more hard-pounding to his new COO Leigh Tavaziva. So much so, that she now requires a Director of Operations and Transformation. The job ad closed at the end of August, but so far, there's been no sighting of an appointment.
Transformation is tricky stuff, especially when the end state relies on knowing something about your future income. By the mood music from Nadine, the transformation may have to be delivered through continuing radical surgery, rather than a course of vitamins and a healthy diet.
Meanwhile Alan 'Wavey' Davey has yet to reveal plans for the BBC Concert Orchestra. In March it was announced it would be moving to ‘a location outside the M25 bringing live music to underserved areas of England. Discussions are ongoing with a possible location and there will be announcements in due course.’
Until 2004, the Orchestra's HQ was the Golders Green Hippodrome; it's now based at the Watford Colosseum, and in January, the Council announced a £5m refurb, talking about a two year extension for the BBC.
Most of the Orchestra's gigs so far posted on the orchestra's website for 2022 are in familiar venues - The Southbank Centre, Wembley, and The Royal Albert Hall. A wider search reveals a gig with Nottingham Trent University Choir "A Night at The Movies" at the end of April, in the Albert Hall, run commercially by The Albert Hall Nottingham Ltd since 1990.
