The Meyerhoff Symphony Hall is the finest venue I've ever attended for classical music and the BSO has always attracted the finest talent. I believe the BSO was in better shape when Zinman was with them and it seems as if they've struggled since he left. Even with this large debt payment they still maintain a wealthy endowment. Given the amount of their debt though, I would guess that support for the BSO is not what it was. If the BSO is facing financial difficulties, it is indeed a sad example of the challenges all our symphony's must be facing.
At least they got rid of Ozawa.
Dear Mase,
Although I live just a few miles south of Baltimore, in southern Anne Arundel County, I know little about the BSO.
I don't know whether their current financial difficulties are a result of mismanagement or are due to genuine economic difficulties from external circumstances.
