July 2007 - Katy Clark, the director of development of the Orchestra of St. Luke's since 2005, has been named Vice President and Managing Director, and as such will assume responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the orchestra. Elizabeth Ostrow, the director of artistic planning at St. Luke's, who has been with the organization since 1996, has been named Vice President for Artistic Planning.
"Katy’s understanding of and sympathy with the unique culture of St. Luke’s, as evidenced by her terrific successes in development, makes her the perfect person to undertake our general management," said Orchestra of St. Luke’s President and Executive Director Marianne Lockwood. "And I am so pleased also to recognize Liz’s wonderful and essential artistic guidance these past 11 years."

Katy is a graduate of Cambridge University where she received her Bachelors degree in History. She also holds a Masters degree in Performance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Certificate in Arts Management from Birkbeck College, University of London.
