Ontario Orchestra’s Board Quits Over Controversy

The entire board of the Kitchener-Waterloo Sympny resigned Monday before a meeting of the orchestra’s 2,400 members could vote on whether to remove the board. “The resignation of the 14 board members is just the latest instalment in a series of crises flowing from the board’s decision Nov. 27 to fire the KWSO’s principal conductor, Berlin-based Martin Fischer-Dieskau.”
