Hints of a progressive Californian spirit were soon in evidence, as composers started appearing onstage at Symphony Hall in Boston to introduce their works, and the atmosphere began to feel more engaged. But Samuel lasted a mere 18 months, stepping down in January for reasons that are still not clear. Smith, who for a long time was the adventurous Philharmonic’s programming guru, is hugely respected, and his hiring is cause for excitement, if some trepidation. In addition, Elizabeth Rowe, the principal flutist whose distinctive, ever-so-slightly melancholy tone has defined the sound of the modern Boston Symphony, has announced that she will leave her position next year. She sued the orchestra in 2018 to secure pay equal to that of the oboist who sits to her left, John Ferrillo.

One of the first questions Tamara Lundgren often heard when she introduced herself as the CEO of Schnitzer Steel is, "What kind of steel do you make?'" Founded in 1906 by Russian immigrant Sam Schnitzer, the company started as a one-person scrap metal recycler. "The name Schnitzer Steel just no longer really reflects our work," said Lundgren, who joined the company in 2005 and was elevated to CEO in 2008. "In today's environment, the importance of recycling and the importance of recycling metals has reached a level that didn't exist 10 years ago," Lundgren said. "I'm glad we were getting that attention, but fundamentally what drove it was all of our recycling activity," Lundgren said.
