Musicians of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra yesterday voted no confidence in managing director and Jon Limbacher.

The move follows the resignation of violinist Kyu-Young Kim as artistic director, over ‘recent organizational decisions and shifts in priorities.’ The board has meanwhile offered Limbacher ‘unequivocal support’.

Daria Adams, one of the SPCO violinists, said: ‘You can run and hide and try to cut your way to greatness. Or you can be bold and come up with some new ideas and some exciting projects.’ She added: ‘It just feels like we’re dying.’
