In an announcement that I found laden with irony, the Detroit Symphony is taking over the Carnegie Hall concert vacated by the financially-strapped Oregon Symphony. Ironic how? Well, when we last went to Carnegie, the Detroit Symphony was in the midst of a prolonged strike. One of their musicians played as an extra with us at the Carnegie concert. Now, we are struggling financially, and their entire orchestra is taking the extra date in Carnegie (they were to – and still will – perform the next evening). Storm Large will get to do her Carnegie debut, which is great for her, but this really hurts. As another OSO member tweeted this afternoon, the loss of the Carnegie concert wasn’t such a huge deal to me, but this makes it sting a bit more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
