Those spit valves are disgusting.
Too conservative for the Baltimore Symphony, which will likely continue to languish as the 3rd rate orchestra it has always been.
What she says on her own time is of no business to the BSO. What she does in complying with company regulations on the orchestra’s time is.
As a musicologist and observer of the classical music scene, I would think that suspension would be the appropriate discipline before termination, but even with classical music orchestras, the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution, and right now COVID practice is the tool of the revolution.
We complain about FB and YT canceling people at the government’s behest, but those companies which follow along and actually fire the people are equally (if not more) following the government’s behest.
I’m glad she’s fighting back.
Classical music is dead anyway, the orchestras no longer have the stomach to rehash all that White guy material they always play, so they might as well play Pops.
Well, they got her, finally
She likely was a pain in the ass for thirty years
This “spreading of misinformation” is not part of the America I grew up in.
Freedom of thought, is.
Our “press” sounds like a bad knock-off of Communist China, which probably owns them, so I guess it makes sense.
um...yeah
Today’s society demands uniformity of thought, dictated from governing authorities. If the same authorities reverse their position overnight, you must also reverse your thinking too, but you are never to mention the policy change.
In the book ‘1984’ Winston Smith early in the book mentions he’s not sure of the actual year, as the Party controls all information, but thinks it is 1984. Turns out it’s 2021.
C'mon man! Give them their due; they're a 2nd rate orchestra. no Cristof Eschenbach for them. (/s)
Now, you want a 3rd rate orchestra, look to the haughtily-named Imperial Symphony Orchestra in Lakeland, FL. I used to take my students to their concerts back in the day, and it was always a good first experience for those who had avoided orchestral music for the first 20 years of their life, but if you want quality, you gotta go where the quality is.
She did not follow policy regarding wearing a mask or doing a test. Not surprised she was fired. The same thing happens at my workplace.
No kidding. Here’s another example. This week the genius lesbian mayor of Seattle said that if by sometime in mid October (I forgot the exact date she gave), any Seattle Police Officer who has not had the jab will be fired.
Oh, here’s another example that goes hand in hand. Seattle Police have been operating under a Federal Consent Decree since the Barry and big Mike Obama administration. One of the provisions the Feds enacted was a civilian oversight board.
The civilian oversight board has decided that in order to remain a Seattle LEO, you must allow the board access to all of your PERSONAL social media accounts. Failure to comply…FIRED.
This is in keeping with the new leftist/media paradigm: Antifa actions/violence is "speech" but your speech is conduct/violence.
You forgot the “/s”
I bet your Mama said the same thing about you.
“Misinformation” = telling the truth.
I had a run in in AZ with a some concert symphony players.
They really think they are gods and that everyone needs to bow to their will.
I walked out and told them I hope they enjoy being poor as that is their future.
