Rosemary Thompson, who was fired last week after 16 years as music director of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, has briefed lawyers to sue for unfair dismissal.

She says she was dismissed over the engagement of ‘guest artists representing Indigenous cultures and improvisatory traditions outside the OSO’s classical roots, and are without merit.’

Should make an interesting day in court.

The OSO is a Canadian ensemble based in Kelowna, British Columbia… The orchestra plays throughout the Okanagan valley, in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon.
