Cleveland Orchestra Musicians Ratify Contract...

"....bringing the negotiation process to a notably swift and uncontentious conclusion."

The Cleveland Orchestra had been playing without a contract for some time, but had continued to talk, as civilized people of good faith often used to.  And now they have come to a satisfactory compromise--does anyone still remember the meaning of that word?  All this and they get to play in the visually and acoustically exquisite Severance Hall.  If you ever get a chance to go there to hear one of the CO's concerts, I highly recommend it. Even in the last row of the balcony, it's wonderful. The only drawback is that it makes coming back to the Woodruff such a downer.
