The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra publicly admonished its principal flutist for her conspiracy-laden social media posts about COVID-19 and fraud in November’s presidential election.
The orchestra tweeted that it does not condone the “words or sentiments” expressed in the posts on the personal social media accounts of flutist Emily Skala.
“Ms. Skala does not speak for the BSO, nor do her statements reflect the core values or code of conduct grounded in humanity and respect,” orchestra officials announced.
The orchestra released the statement after being alerted to Skala’s posts by other social media users.
Facebook had flagged Skala’s posts for containing false information. The Sun reported she had also questioned the results of the presidential election.
“I’m not the only one in my orchestra who sees things as I do.” Skala said. “I’m just the only one being outspoken about it.”
Skala said she does not accept President Biden as the authentic winner of November’s election.
“Absolutely not,” she said. “[And] I am not a conspiracy theorist. To use that word so indiscriminately is disrespectful to our critical thinkers and shuts down everyone from doing the same. I’m definitely being unfairly labeled for my views.”
Skala previously shared a link on Twitter claiming the “mask thing is a sinister fraud” and that doctors and nurses doling out the COVID-19 vaccine would ultimately be “tried as war criminals.”
She also retweeted a link from prominent anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicating that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was looking into the death of a 36-year-old Tennessee doctor who reportedly died after getting his second COVID-19 shot.

Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!
You can take the O out if BSO but not the BS.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Not totally not guilty, but close enough.
My personal observation is that serious flute players are usually high IQ, intellectuals.
My daughter reached the Children’s Symphony while in high school and won several gold medal in competition.
She now only practices to relax, as college studies don’t allow time for extra curricular activities. She’ s post-grad in neuro-science and starting medical school next year.
When James Galway was asked which was the correct pronunciation...he said “I play a flute, not a flaute.” 😆
Awesome! 😊
I haven't seen a picture of her. She might be a flute honey.
And Gap Toothed Fat Albert is still complaining the erection (HT Chuck Schumer) was stolen from her in Georgia.
Bet the second chair started this.
IMHO, the BSO is one of the nation’s outstanding symphony orchestras, especially when Marin Alsop is conducting. I purchase season’s tickets and they are far, far better than the National Symphony Orchestra.
Years ago, in this country and in England, flautist or flute player was the preferred descriptor but the vulgarians have taken over.
Even James Galway says, "I am a flute player, not a flautist. I don’t have a flaut, and I’ve never flauted.”
I love it when artsy types are brave and independent enough to move past the peer pressure and mindless groupthink of the leftists around them. The left hates free speech.
😆
Yep. And orchestras are full of ‘em.
Where’s Ian Anderson now that we need him?
She’s doing the right thing. See tagline
Cancel her for thinking and speaking for herself?
Heck with that. Just for that, I bought her CD and sent her a thank you note and told her there are MILLIONS out here who support her rights.
Her CD is here:
