Charlotte Penton-Smith appointed Chief Executive of The Royal Society of Musicians
Charlotte Penton-Smith has recently been appointed to the newly-created post of Chief Executive of The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain. She has been Secretary of the RSM since 2013. Her new position reflects the important strategic role she plays with the Governors in developing the Society to meet today’s challenges. With a rapidly expanding membership base and a new office in London’s Fitzroy Square, the RSM is well placed to capitalise on the traditions established by Handel and its other founders, whilst harnessing the opportunities of the twenty-first century.
Prior to working at the RSM, Charlotte Penton-Smith was Chief Executive of Future Talent and OperaGenesis Administrator at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; her career began at Aldeburgh Music (now Snape Maltings) as Britten–Pears Programme Assistant and then Masterclass Co-ordinator.
As a result of Charlotte Penton-Smith’s promotion, the RSM is now seeking a Membership Secretary to join its small team.
