As the Cincinnati Symphony begins negotiations for a new contract with its musicians this summer, nearly every part of the ensemble’s budget is facing possible cuts. The orchestra ran a $411,000 deficit last year, and would have faced a $1.8 mil shortfall this year, but for a last-minute donation. Among the options being considered to close the gap are the elimination of a popular holiday series, a move to online publication for some informational materials, and the possible cancellation of a street music festival that the CSO had sponsored. It’s a fair bet that the orchestra management is seeking concessions from the musicians at the bargaining table, as well.
