A Note from Peter Koenig, President
Fond Farewells
The Friends of Music Hall wishes Mindy Rosen all the best in her well-earned retirement, after graciously serving as FMH’s Executive Director for nearly the past five years. Mindy joined us just before the COVID pandemic hit, somehow cheerfully and adeptly got us through it, and is a big reason FMH has emerged stronger and more vibrant than ever with a bright future ahead. Jessica Kovach also is moving on to pursue other interests after expertly assisting Mindy, FMH’s world-class volunteers, and FMH’s board members these past couple years. We wish Mindy and Jessica continued success in the next chapters of their lives.
New Beginnings
We are pleased to announce the hiring of two people. Nancy Knauf has been appointed our next Executive Director. Nancy comes to us from a musical and business background and is perfectly positioned with her extensive skills in marketing, managing events, and cultivating relationships to expand our mission to preserve, improve, promote, and provide education about Cincinnati Music Hall as we move toward the 150th anniversary of Music Hall in 2028. Nancy will be ably supported by Julien Monick, who holds doctorate and master’s degrees from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Together they will team up to support FMH's 30-person board in activities including event planning, fund raising, membership development, tours, education, and inclusion. Please warmly introduce yourself to both when the opportunity arises. Welcome aboard, Nancy and Julien!
