Speaking at How to be an Effective Leader
Since her appointment in January 2018, Kim Noltemy has implemented numerous new initiatives that will have a long-term impact on the landscape of classical music in Dallas and the entire industry. The DSO was the first major American orchestra to perform for an in-person audience after the COVID-19 shutdown. During her tenure, the orchestra appointed renowned Music Director Fabio Luisi and Principal Guest Conductor Gemma New. In May 2019, she negotiated the transition of management of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center from the City of Dallas to the Dallas Symphony Association. She serves as President of the Dallas Arts District board and on the boards of the Dallas Black Dance Theatre and Aging Minds, and she is a member of the Dallas Assembly, Dallas Summit, Dallas International Women's Forum and Executive Women's Roundtable. Noltemy was named as a D CEO Dallas 500 in 2020 and 2021 and was a 2020 finalist for the Dallas Morning News’ Texan of the Year.
In the fall of 2020, Noltemy introduced a comprehensive plan and commitment for equity, diversity, and inclusion at the DSO. In 2018, she launched the DSO’s Women in Classical Music program. The DSO’s Southern Dallas Residency, begun in November 2018, includes a very important educational initiative, Young Musicians.
Since the pandemic shutdown in March 2020, Noltemy has expanded the DSO online presence, implementing a digital strategy for 2020/21 and beyond. A state-of-the-art video studio with robotic cameras was installed to capture and live-stream DSO performances and third-party events in the hall.
