Campeau
Arlington resident Betsy Campeau has been named executive director of the Arlington Philharmonic, effective immediately. This comes as Arlington’s professional non-profit symphony orchestra celebrates its 10th anniversary season.
Campeau comes to the Arlington Philharmonic with a range of professional experience in arts management and as a musician. A clarinetist, she performed in the Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra and chamber ensembles of the U.S. Air Force Band after graduating with honors from the University of Michigan’s School of Music. She served as the director of marketing and outreach and chief announcer for the Air Force Band until 2009 when she retired with the rank of Chief Master Sergeant, the highest rank attainable by an enlisted musician.
A private clarinet instructor since 1988, Campeau has also served as a board member of the Northern Virginia Music Teachers Association; served on the faculty of the Levine School of Music; and as an administrative assistant with the Virginia Symphony.
