That is wonderful news indeed. As a member of a London orchestra my heart goes out to the musicians of the current orchestras in peril : Ulster Orchestra, Rome Opera Orchestra. Glad to read that the Danish Radio Chamber Orchestra is going to be saved.
Let’s not forget last year’s lengthy lock-out of the Minnesota Orchestra either.
Whilst we in London work hard, we don’t have to be subjected to the tyranny of power-crazed Boards which seems to be the case for our US colleagues.
Power-crazed and musically uncaring. Some board chairs are famous? for never having been to a performance.
UGH! Thank the heavens above for the return of the Atlanta Symphony so they can get to work on Beethoven’s 9th. Because I haven’t heard that one before. 😐
“The Times says the orchestra had originally been scheduled to perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “A Sea Symphony” — which it won a Grammy for a recording in 2003 — but there apparently was not enough time to rehearse it.”
