Baltimore Symphony loses its critic

When Tim Smith announced he was stepping down as music critic of the Baltimore Sun after 19 years, there was some hope that a civilised city might appoint a successor.

Not so.

The Sun told MusicalAmerica last night that ‘We will continue to cover music and theater developments in a way that best serves our readers’.

Meaning no critic.

The Baltimore Symphony, in the throes of two existential crises, will lack informed reporting on the spot and its concerts will go unreviewed, which is surely the path to oblivion.
