Biased Coverage of Fort Worth Symphony Strike

9/14/2016

There is plenty of discussion going on now on social media and blogs about the unfair treatment the musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony are getting in the local paper there, the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

​Check out this insightful and entertaining blog post by Emily Hogstad: Pneumonia At The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra! She helps keep the work stoppage in perspective, especially in comparison to other organizational clashes in recent years in Atlanta and Minnesota. Orchestras there are currently thriving, by the way, despite doom and gloom predictions.
