“I’m very excited to be joining the team of the great Peoria Symphony Orchestra as it celebrates its 125th anniversary. It is a privilege to serve as the Executive Director of the 14th oldest orchestra in the United States and inherit an organization extremely well managed by Susan Hoffman, and the board of directors,” Marotta said.
