Now all they need is a new management team and a new board!!!! It should have never happened!!
Check out the salaries of music directors and orchestra managers and compare it to twenty year ago! Then compare the salaries of musicians in various orchestras in the last twenty years!

Here's something that will cheer you up: a story, by Mark Stryker, in the Detroit Free Press about the Detroit Symphony's first post-strike concert: "Wow! "Orchestra Hall has seen its share of electric performances and thunderous applause. But in 16 years of attending concerts at this acoustic miracle on Woodward, I have never heard a volcanic eruption like the one that greeted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra musicians as they took the stage Saturday for their first performance after a six-month strike. "It was less an ovation than a catharsis, a collective expression of the joy and relief felt by 2,000 people, all standing, hooting and hollering as if someone just hit a walk-off home run to win the World Series. The DSO is back. The soul of Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the DSO’s first world-class conductor, can rest in peace."
