The Sacramento Region Performing Arts Alliance, which operates the Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera, has picked an interim executive director.

The organization chose Alice Sauro, 51; she was introduced to the alliance’s board of directors on Jan. 30 at a winter retreat.
She has a 29-year career as a musician and an orchestra manager with the Detroit Symphony, which operates on a $27.7 million budget. She is a conservatory-trained violinist whose 25-year performing career was cut short by injury.

The SRPAA is expected to announce plans for a 2015-16 season later this spring
