3 musicians are suspended over controversial conductor
OrchestrasWe’re hearing that three musicians in the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana in Palermo have been suspended after voicing criticism of Beatrice Venezi.
The visiting conductor is a friend of premier Meloni and an adviser to the culture minister. Her father was founder of a neo-fascist party.
Two of the musicians have been suspended for a week, the third for a day. The orchestra management is terrified of losing its state subsidy.
