“Nicholas Kenyon, the Barbican’s managing director for 14 years” — and, prior to that, controller of BBC Radio 3 and director of the BBC Proms — “is to stand down in September with the move coming shortly after criticism from the organisation’s own staff that it was ‘institutionally racist’. In a statement Kenyon confirmed he would be leaving in the autumn, adding that … he had been planning the move for some time.” – The Guardian
