Minnesota conductor disbands his orchestra
OrchestrasConductor Jay Fishman will give his last concerts with the Minnesota Sinfonia this weekend. After that, the orchestra will cease to exist.
Fishman, 77, founded it in 1989 to play concerts in schools and for low-income adult audiences who could not afford to pay for a ticket. He employed 26 musicians and gave 60-70 concerts a year.

MN seems to be cursed
Why do you say that?
Just look at their governor. What kind of deficient mind casts a vote for such a cringe individual as that?
Bravo to Maestro Fishman! what an incredible gift he gave to his part of the world. Hope he has a wonderful retirement.
Bravo to this wonderful musician. He filled a very important need in the community. We need more dedicated people like him, who give their talent, time and dedication to the fellows. God Bless you, Maestro Fishman!!
Didn’t anyone else want to take it over? Or did the founder not want this to happen?
