Nibbles and Bits

Brian Langston, former marketing and public relations director at the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art, has been named executive director of the William Hall Master Chorale.

Langston will assume the new post Monday, and his duties will include those performed by former development director Barbara Palermo, who left the chorale for a career in banking two weeks ago, according to William Hall. The chorale has not had an executive director for more than a decade, Hall said.

Langston, 49, left the Bowers in June after working there for roughly seven years. He holds an undergraduate degree in religion from Princeton University.
