    Disappointed and deeply concerned about the environment at this symphony…read more What should be a place of inspiration, artistry, and community has sadly become a breeding ground for toxic behavior behind the scenes. The administration has allowed certain individuals to create a hostile workplace for both staff and musicians , and instead of addressing the issue, leadership has either turned a blind eye or enabled it. The situation has become so damaging that the orchestra is now pursuing unionization, not for better pay or scheduling, but for basic protection from abuse and manipulation. That should speak volumes. I used to support this organization, but it's heartbreaking to see talented, passionate people pushed out, silenced, or broken down while upper leadership protects those responsible. The public only sees the polished performances, not the culture of fear and intimidation happening backstage. Until there's accountability, transparency, and real change, I can't support this institution. Great music should come from a place of integrity, not toxicity. Would you like a more emotional or more detailed version? Or would you like to make this part of a larger awareness campaign on other platforms (Reddit, or https://slippedisc.com/ or TikTok?

    A message to sponsors, donors, chair endowers, and loyal attendees: Please take a closer look…read more As someone who has supported and admired this symphony for years, it's painful to witness what's happening behind the scenes. While the performances remain strong on the surface, the internal culture has become increasingly toxic and damaging to the very musicians and staff that make the music possible. Multiple employees have raised concerns about harmful behavior, favoritism, and a deeply unhealthy work environment. These issues have gone unresolved for far too long, forcing the orchestra to move toward unionization -- not just for typical labor protections, but to safeguard themselves from internal dysfunction. If you're someone who gives generously -- whether through donations, endowments, sponsorships, or ticket purchases -- you have the right to know how your support is being managed. Artists deserve to work in an environment rooted in respect, professionalism, and integrity. I urge you to ask questions. Talk to musicians. Don't assume everything is fine just because the concert is beautiful. Your voice, your concern, and your influence could help bring about the change this organization desperately needs.
