Indianapolis Symphony Launches PR Campaign
Following an initial press blackout, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) launched a PR campaign related to the ongoing labor dispute with their musicians. They released a lengthy press statement on 9/3/2012 that provides rationale for some of the austerity measures being pursued in the new collective bargaining agreement. According to quotes in the statement from ISO board chairman, John Thornburgh, it appears that the ISO board sees itself in the same light as Detroit and Philadelphia and that the way forward is to pattern the orchestra’s strategic vision after solutions pioneered by those ensembles. “Hard as it is to contemplate, the model that Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit and other orchestras have used for decades simply needs to be revisited, with the goal always being to retain and attract the highest quality possible with the resources available.” On the same day the ISO released that statement, the musicians of the […]

So Much Drama
[…] recent events as they intersect with Crookall’s departure and there’s enough material to leave most folks scratching their heads wondering what else is going on inside the organization, such as this (emphasis added): Administrative changes that Crookall announced to ISO staff, board and musicians in January, including the departure of Martin Sher, vice president for artistic administration, will remain intact for the time being, [Interim ISO CEO Jackie] Groth and [ISO board chair John R.] Thornburgh said. Very curious indeed (and for even more questions, check out one of Harvey’s Indy Star blog posts ). Flashpoint #2 – NECEvents in the NEC vs. Zander drama crossed a waypoint this weekend when the Boston Globe published an article on 2/5/2012 written by Geoff Edgers which presents an incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive interview between the author and Benjamin Zander. As most folks following the situation are already aware, there’s much more to […]
