A settlement has been reached in the ugly standoff between music director Rosemary Thompson and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.

Rosemary, fired last December after 16 years, sued for unfair dismissal.

Today it was agreed that she would conduct the last concert of the present season in exchange for dropping her lawduit.

The statement reads: ‘Maestro Thomson is thrilled to return to the podium to conduct the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra for the May concert series, after which she will hold the title of Conductor Emeritus.’
