Some eagle-eyed reading<\/a> by James Bash has come up with the possibility that Seattle Symphony music director Gerard Schwarz could be eyeing a move to the Utah Symphony & Opera.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not sure why he’d make this move, unless the lawsuit against the symphony goes against him, but even then he’s got deep pockets galore in Seattle, many powerful friends, a great hall, and as we all know, one at least partially very<\/em> pissed-off orchestra.\u00c2\u00a0 As Roger Downey wrote in his Seattle Weekly article of May 2006:<\/p>\n
