American Symphony Orchestra League president Henry Fogel is on the ultimate road trip, meeting with musicians and managers at orchestras across the country in an effort to get a firsthand picture of the industry he’s devoted his life to. This week, he’s been in Salt Lake City, where he defends the beleagured CEO of the Utah Symphony & Opera, who has been accused of gross incompetence and poor planning by some of the US&O’s musicians and donors. Fogel’s take on the controversial merger of Utah’s two largest classical music organizations is that such plans take time to come to fruition, and he believes that better days are ahead in Salt Lake.
