Florida Philharmonic Demise Could Threaten Region’s Culture

Last week the Florida Philharmonic announced it must raise $20 million by May 2 or face a bankruptcy. “In the meantime, some arts executives and community leaders fear that bankruptcy could cloud major cultural plans, including a proposed concert hall in Boca Raton, and send a dangerous message about the health of the cultural scene. But some also say the orchestra’s collapse is long overdue, given the organization’s nearly $3 million deficit and constant cries for help.”
