I don’t think this is a first Ch.11 in recent US history, I believe Honolulu Symphony filed Ch.11 bankruptcy in 2009 and Orlando Symphony filed for Ch.11 bankruptcy in 1991.
Syracuse Symphony Orchestra filed Chapter 7 this month also.

I don't follow it that scene closely, although my wife does, but when I read it, it didn't sound right to me.
AP get it wrong again. Surprising. /s

Honolulu is a smaller orchestra with a much smaller reach; The Big five orchestras are the NY, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago & Philadelphia.
If you have never scene one of these in person I would highly advise you to do so. It is truly an experience music lovers will never forget.

Fortunately the SSO is dead. In a community that has all but died, there was simply no support for a Symphony Orchestra and the taxpayers should not be coughing up money for luxuries like this.
