Australian orchestras pile in on Melbourne management
OrchestrasSTATEMENT FROM THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA MUSICIANS’ ASSOCIATION (SOMA)
Australia’s professional orchestral musicians stand in solidarity with and in admiration of our colleagues in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
For too long we have witnessed the musicians of the mighty MSO hamstrung and diminished by decisions beyond their control and in which they did not have a say. Yet in defiance, concert after concert, the orchestra continued to make great art, enriching the lives of its community.
As unionists we always stand strong together, but in times of crisis we hold each other even tighter.
We urge the people of Melbourne and beyond to gather around their orchestra. It is precious and wonderful, and the musicians need your support and solidarity now more than ever.
In plain English: the musicians have performed heroically, despite appalling management. Get rid of the boss class.
Better your average boss you know and understand than a person you know nothing about aside what they told you he/she/it says or worse (he/she/it tells everybody what they want to hear).
Many comments, but nothing ever to suggest exactly what the management are doing wrong.
I’m curious as to why you have a picture of a @collingwoodfc player alongside this article about the @MelbSymphony. Are you suggesting that the Magpies represent Melbourne? If so, great call Norman!
