Seeing Double: Two Orchestras in the Same City Locked Out

It would be interesting, as Kiki suggested the other day, to form a learning coalition with these orchestras under siege.  American symphony management is now willing to take players to the mat to make them comply; Boards seem to be in collusion.  But how are all these draconian measures helping preserve the arts in these cities?

From MPR (with links to other articles) ... a piece on spending the Minnesota Orchestra's endowment.

From the student news site at St. Olaf's College.  I really like knowing that young people understand the larger picture.
