I don't know. My sense is not but you never know. In addition to the money the institution needs, there is a serious shortage of committed board members here. Without a good board, an orchestra will pretty much always end up like this one. The longer the shutdown goes, the harder it will be to reorganize. I have spoken to most of the musicians of the orchestra and many are planning on leaving town for other employment. Quite a few are planning on retiring from the profession but that may be the current frustration talking. I sincerely hope the wonderful orchestra that was on stage yesterday will again make music. It has been my privilege, and honor, to do so for the last 18 years.

My opinion for what it's worth...
