CSO to record concert!

The concert this coming weekend of the Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5, Romeo and Juliet, and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue will be recorded.

“Although the Musicians will be paid far less than usual for this recording, we want to memorialize the artistic summit achieved by the CSO, which has taken decades to reach, before it may be destroyed next season by controlling members of the CSO Board and Executive Director Tony Beadle, who are publicly advocating the firing of 22 Musicians at the end of this summer”, said Douglas Fisher, a member of the orchestra and President of the Central Ohio Federation of Musicians, the Musician’s Union.

Much of the funding "will be personally underwritten by former CSO Board Chair Gene D’Angelo."
