The Salem Chamber Orchestra in Oregon has cancelled the rest of its season and is facing bankruptcy. 

The executive director quit in the summer and ticket sales are $100,000 south of budget.

    It is sad. Although a place like Salem is not a hotbed of culture, a chamber orchestra most definitely should be a cherished part of the fabric of the community. Yet another sign that culture in America Is becoming less and less a part of the entire country’s life.
