San Jose Makes It Official

In a foregone conclusion of events that began months ago, the San Jose Symphony has officially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and gone out of business. The symphony had been unable to dig its way out of a massive financial hole, even after its struggles became a rallying point for musicians and music-lovers nationwide. But in the wake of the SJS’s demise, a new orchestra has sprung up in the city, allied with the San Jose Ballet.
