A BIG day today!

Lots of news to report to you, fellow CSO supporters!!

First, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra musicians have released their first official statement on their website about the proposed plan. Click here to to read their official position and reaction to the current situation.

Second, I wanted to highlight some of the links on the right under the heading "Recently Posted by Others." The most recent additions are the Columbus Dispatch Editorial on 1/28 and the post on the Slipped Disc blog post (from London!). The Dispatch Editorial was written in support of the board's plan. The editorial in the Dispatch fails to take into account several repercussions, most noticeably what would happen if the Music Director decides to leave because of the cuts.

Third, I heard from Mr. Christopher Purdy today that Fred Andrle will discuss the CSO on his OPEN LINE program Monday, February 4 @ 11 a.m. on WOSU 820 AM. With him will be guests Barbara Zuck, Marshall Haddock, Lyman Leathers and from London, Norman Lebrecht (author of the Slipped Disc blog mentioned above).

Overall, today there was a lot announced. Many thanks to the many who have emailed me content pertinent to the situation. Please keep it coming so that all may stay informed!
