Why did musicians of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic vote to not renew music director Gerard Schwarz’s contract? “If it’s because the Liverpool orchestra rejects him aesthetically, that might be a problem. If it’s because the orchestra resents some changes he’s making, that’s different. They might resent him for firing somebody’s brother. They might think that just because the tuba player is 80 years old, that’s no reason for him to go away.”
