Coastal Jazz names Nina Horvath its new executive director
A singer and pianist, arts administrator moves over to jazz fest from the Vancouver Bach Choir
FOLLOWING A three-month search, Coastal Jazz, the group that puts on the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival each year, has appointed Nina Horvath as its new executive director.
A pianist and singer, Horvath currently helms the Vancouver Bach Choir, and will be joining Coastal Jazz full time beginning January. She is also a member of the board of the BC Choral Federation.
Coastal Jazz has spent the past three years under a distributed leadership structure. The return of having a single executive director position comes at a time where the organization has retired its deficit, endured the pandemic, and managed to produce a limited live festival (along with an ambitious program of 52 livestreamed events) amid COVID restrictions this year.
