Greece breaks up an orchestra
OrchestrasThe Athens Camerata has been disbanded over an accumulation of debts.
Culture Minister Lina Mendoni told parliament that its musicians could apply for employment in other state-funded ensembles.
The orchestra, founded in 1991, originally had Neville Marriner as its artistic director.
Mr Lebrecht, are you sure this is current news? I read news to that effect a couple years ago. Nothing current in the Greek media online.
The founding music director was Alexandre Myrat, from 1991 to 2000. Neville Marriner was music director from 2000 to 2001.
