Charles Croce is the the new vice president for marketing and public relations at the Kimmel Center. Croce currently holds the same position at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where he oversaw the creation of a campaign that encouraged visitors to look beyond blockbusters for the art that lives fulltime at the museum.
Croce has worked at the New York Philharmonic, Saratoga Performing Arts Center and Lufthansa, so he'll no doubt bring a wide perspective to establishing an image for the arts center. Rounding out his knowledge of the performing arts, he's married to a cellist.
Croce starts his new job Nov. 17.
