Columbus Symphony Orchestra Closes Doors
Saturday May 10, 2008
Or not, it turns out.
While Picnic with the Pops is cancelled this summer, it turns out the symphony could be saved with a new labor agreement with its' musicians. Visit the Columbus Dispatch for details.
Interesting, in that all along I have heard the Columbus Symphony was "running out of money". If that is the case, renegotiating employment contracts won't cut it. Is all this just a ploy for cheaper labor? You be the judge.

It’s not a ploy. No major corporation, foundation, or government grant organization (or individual donor for that matter) is willing to give money to a nonprofit that may not exist in the near future. Donors are holding back until progress is made in negotiations.
