E<\/span>ven if Giuliano Kornberg didn’t have such an intriguing name\u2014he’s Italian-Jewish-American\u2014you’d still be intrigued by him. At 30, he’s executive director of the Sacramento Philharmonic and one of the youngest people to hold that sort of big-city position in the country. (Coming closest may be the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Jonathon Heyward, who’s not only young but also the first\u00a0African-American music director in that company’s history.)<\/p>\n If you stacked up Kornberg’s accomplishments to date\u2014both as executive director and his previous job as the SP&O’s chief revenue and development officer\u2014they’d be almost as tall as he is (and he’s not short). It’s almost as though he’d planned the job before he was born then waited until 2016, when he first joined the company, to execute.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9mZWF0dXJlZF9pbWFnZSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7fX0=@” alt=”Edgy Cartoon” title_text=”Kitchen Confidential” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _dynamic_attributes=”src” width=”80%” width_tablet=”93%” width_phone=”95%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”95%” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” border_width_all=”1px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ text_font=”Georgia||on||||||” text_font_size=”14px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-16px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Giuliano, by Ryan Greenleaf\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n “I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve learned mostly by doing,” he says over a recent lunch at The Sutter Club, a venerable Sacramento institution he joined to be able to meet some of\u00a0\u00a0the region’s older supporters of the arts and to make headway with some of the younger ones, urging them to discover the joys of music that’s not only uplifting but also memorable (I mean, when’s the last time you hummed a rap song in the shower?).\u00a0<\/p>\n He majored in music at Stanford University and at one point thought he’d be an orchestra member, never dreaming that he’d one day be responsible for selecting its programs, hiring the guest performers and conductors, (death be not fraught) negotiating union contracts with player and stagehands, and putting the company on the path to raising $1.33 million in funds this year.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n “The first time someone suggested I executive-direct an orchestra instead of playing percussion in one, I actually said, ‘You can do that?'” he recalls. Because Kornberg is so young and his achievements have come quickly, he refreshingly doesn’t affect the distant look that many people get in their eyes when they remember past triumphs and challenges\u2014mainly because, he doesn’t have to remember back that far.<\/p>\n He’s quick to cite as one of his prime mentors Sandra Smoley. The former Sacramento County supervisor helped save the SP&O in its many incarnations before, during and now, well after her 20 years in office. (I’ve written about Smoley a few times, most recently for the “Icon” column in Comstock’s Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Adsense Horizontal” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”90%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”90%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_module=”1433″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
