The Columbus Symphony Orchestra has joined the growing roster of orchestras for whom contract negotiations have become a public affair this summer. “Sunday’s [Columbus Dispatch] carried a half-page ad from the musicians asking the public to step in and make their voices heard… Last week, sky banners touted a new grassroots website. Now [the] new ad is asking people to write the symphony board and express their frustrations.” Talks between musicians and management at the CSO broke off earlier this summer.
