Orchestra Furious With Hall Closure Plan

One of Northern Ireland’s largest orchestras may have to begin its next season without the use of its concert hall, and orchestra officials are furious that they weren’t consulted before the closure of Ulster’s Waterfront Hall was announced. The Ulster Orchestra “had made provisional booking for four concerts during this period, including the important opening concert of the 2007-2008 season and… ‘had been led to believe’ that the Waterfront would be closed during the quiet season from June-August, and not later on.”
