Fund manager Edgar Myer has become chairman of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, as it prepares to battle a former guest pianist in court next month.
A director of the MSO since March 2023, Mr Myer – a former anthropologist and lawyer who now works at Yulgilbar Group, a family office associated with Melbourne’s prominent Myer family – was announced as chairman-elect in November, as his predecessor David Li and three other directors revealed they had departed – or would depart – the board.
