For the past 16 years the Cape Symphony has gotten along happily with its artistic director Jung-Ho Pak. He was last renewed by the board for five years in 2021.

Suddenly, there’s an announcement he’s leaving this weekend. No explanation from the board, the musicians, or the conductor himself.

It all looks very – forgive me – fishy.

Some of the conductor’s fans are running up a petition.

Pak, 61, also heads the Fremont Symphony Orchestra in California. Cape Cod has run clean out of chips.
