The orchestra of the theater in Plauen-Zwickau has been renamed the Clara Schumann Philharmonic.

    Is there an orchestra in Leipzig that could rename itself the Robert Schumann Philharmonic?

    Probably no irony intended with this change, more likely it’s another mentally feeble attempt at being “woke.”

    Good decision !!

    Can’t wait to hear about the creation of the Alma Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
