George Lepauw, who failed to pay many of his Chicago performers last year, has ‘with a heavy heart’ announced the cancellation of next month’s festival. He is under a boycott warning from the musicians’ unions.

Cancellation here. Apology nowhere. Love? Doesn’t know what it means.

    Haydn wrote a famous simphony when the musicians got nothing for their efforts.
