San Antonio Symphony Catches Up On Some Of Its Bills

The San Antonio Symphony, which announced two weeks ago that it didn’t have enough money to make its payroll or pay more than $400,000 in past-due bills, says it has raised $200,000 since then, enough to pay musicians for the delayed payroll and cover some of the payroll due today. The musicians agreed to continue playing, and most staffers remained on the job. “The symphony has collected about $200,000 in individual gifts and proceeds from benefits hastily organized by other organizations concerned for the orchestra’s survival.”
