St Louis Symphony Strike Drags On

The St. Louis Symphony musicians’ strike is taking its toll. Musicians are hurting for money, the orchestra says it’s lost $700,000 in revenue. “Fifteen subscription concerts have been canceled. Thousands of schoolchildren have missed out on educational concerts at Powell Symphony Hall, a cavernous former vaudeville theater built in 1925. Half a dozen of those were canceled, along with 20 concerts in churches, schools and homes for the elderly in poor neighborhoods that were part of the orchestra’s lauded outreach program.”
